One caveat here.  It's extremely simple to drop a 68030 into an existing
68020/68851 system, and there's a real good chance that the first few
68030 systems out the [collective electronics industry] door will be not
much more than that.  So watch out.  A plain 68030 in a 68020 system can
give you a bit more performance, but if it's designed in to take advantage
of more of the 68030's features, expect maybe double the performance of a
similarly equipped 68020 system.
