So far the 680xx family hasn't been very pin or package compatable. One of the best ways to increase speed in to increase the numbers of transistors in the chip. This almost always results in different package. Don't blame Motorola, Intel has done the same thing with the 80x86 line. -- Dan Boehlke Internet: dan@gac.edu Campus Network Manager BITNET: dan@gacvax1.bitnet Gustavus Adolphus College St. Peter, MN 56082 USA Phone: (507)933-7596
