On the standard Mobius '030 accelerator and full page display a 68EC030
is used rather than a 68030 and consequently you can't use Virtual
to gain virtual memory (so Mobius says).

Is the EC a "crippled" 030 (minus the onboard MMU)? Is it pin compatible
with the 030?

Mobius offer an upgrade (which from what I can gather is just a replacemnt
of the EC030 with a real 030) for $250. They charge a similar amount for
adding an FPU (which you can do for $60 less yourself).

Anybody know? Anybody got the datasheets.

E-mail me or post here if you think others may be interested.
