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
