You know, the ec030 is cheaper than the 030 for two reasons; they took out the mmu, and they put it in a plastic pin-grid array (rather than ceramic). You may recall that the NSC 32532 was "cheapened" in the same manner to make the 32gx32(!?). Looking at the logic board for a Macintosh SE/30, I noticed that the 030 on the board is in a PLASTIC pin-grid array package. I called Wyle Labs, and was told that no, Motorola doesn't offer the 030 in a plastic pin-grid array package. So, perhaps they only make it for Apple. I wonder if they will offer it generally. I wonder how much (little!) Apple pays for 030's. -- steve.ligett@dartmouth.edu or ...!dartvax!steve.ligett
