I seem to remember that this topic was removed from the monthly info post. It should stay there. michael> 1) How compatible is it? I mean, really? None of this theory stuff. I've been using a 68010 in my A1000 since December 1986 with no problems. However, I run relatively few pieces of commercial software, esp. games. Basically, my attitude is that if it doesn't work with the 010, I throw it away. michael> 2) How well does the deciGEL program work? pretty well, though I've never had the occasion to use it. michael> 3) Where is a good place to get one at a reasonable price? From an ad for The Krueger Company in Amazing Computing: 8 Mhz 68010 $1.00 (is that reasonable enough?) 12 Mhz 68020 $30.00 16 Mhz 68030 $40.00 The ad only gives phone numbers: (800) 245-2235, FAX (602) 820-1707. It says to mention Amazing Computing. michael> 4) Can somebody with a 68010 please report on the success or failure michael> of the following programs: michael> Falcon michael> Excellence michael> Romance of the Three Kingdoms michael> Tetris michael> VLT VLT works fine, don't know about the others. --M -- __ \/ Michael Portuesi Silicon Graphics Computer Systems, Inc. portuesi@SGI.COM Entry Systems Division -- Engineering
