The key word here is "Potentially". I bought a 2000 with a 6.0 motherboard,
a HardFrame, and an 8-Up! with 2 megs RAM, but I've had absolutely no problems
with it. In fact, it has been much less troublesome than my old 500 (which
is gone now, BTW).
One thing I did do, though: I replaced the 68000 with a 68010 (ceramic,
10 MHz). I tend to doubt that this makes a difference, but I've heard rumors
that there are some bad CPUs floating around in the 6.0 motherboards.
