I have a Ronin Hurricane board for my A1000. In case you don't know
what this is, it's a 68020/68881 board that replaces the 68000. 

I have had great success with this board (once I grounded the infamous
PALS), and I really like the speed (almost like my old 3/50 at work).
Now I'd like to upgrade the 68020 to a 68030. In the documentation I
have, it says that there is an upgrade to do this, and since the pinouts
on the chips don't seem to match, it would appear I can't just replace
chips.

Anyway, my questions:

	1) Does anyone know of this option? 
	
	2) Does anyone know if Ronin (which I believe is not Ronin anymore)
	   still manufactures it?

	3) If not, then is there another company with a product that 
	   could do this?

and the most important one:

	4) Does anyone have any experience with this? I believe that
	   AmigaDOS will handle a 68030 (which is one of the things I
	   like about the OS) and I realize that CBM has an 030 board
	   for the 2000, but has anyone acually replaced an 020 with
	   an 030?

	Thanks for any info,

		Mike
