Computer System Associates in San Diego makes "daughter board" 68020/881 upgrades that plug into a 68010 socket. They come in several different shapes, so maybe one would fit in the Unix PC. There might be some minor OS problems. (And, of course, minor OS problems become major ones without source code, but I think it would be doable.) -- -=] Ford [=- "The number of Unix installations (In Real Life: Mike Ditto) has grown to 10, with more expected." ford@kenobi.cts.com - The Unix Programmer's Manual, ...!sdcsvax!crash!elgar!ford 2nd Edition, June, 1972. ditto@cbmvax.commodore.com
