I put a 68010 in my Amiga 1000 for a while.  I noticed that up though
version 1.2 of the O/S, there were a nontrivial number of programs
that seemed to be using MOVE CC,<ea> instruction.  I've seen a
number of E-A games that break, but then they hog the whole machine
anyway.  The Amiga Transformer also craps out with a 68010
installed.

I put the 68000 back in because the real world performance
difference between the 68000 and the 010 was less than 10%
reduction in execution time.  Of course, one can contrive a program
that takes advantage of the loop optimization of the 68010 and show
a bigger difference than that, but that isn't the real world on the
Amiga.
