Motorola only recently released the 33MHz >68040 specifications to developers. Maybe they're getting confused with the 50MHz clock that you have to feed the 25MHz 040. Some manufacturers are sticking 50MHz crystal oscillators on the boards, so the marketroids could be confusing this to be a 50MHz 040 or a 25MHz 040 running at 50MHz ;-). I love the first 33MHz spec I got: a 25MHz spec with crossouts for the 33MHz spec and some crossed out with no spec. >Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" -- William J.
