Making an interface is very simple. Just read the docs of Commodore about expansionboards and follow the guidelines. We have made a synchronous 68020 board in 6 weeks and it worked the first time we plugged it in. An 68030 interface will be more or less the same. Things will get a bit more complicated for an asynchronous board.Then you will have to add a datalatch for the databus. This is not neccesary for a synchronous board. hpoing this will help, Erwin van Breemen
