    Can anyone tell me if the 68882 and '881 are pin compatible?  I recently
obtained an '882, and I hope to replace my mac II's '881 with it.  What I
need to know is A) will this switch work?  B) Will I see any real performance
improvement?  I kinda-sorta recall hearing that the '882 will work in a
mac II, but I don't really feel like risking my motherboard on it.  
    
    If anyone out there has successfuly swaped these chips in a macII, please
let me know!
