How much faster is the 68010? Is it compatible - with 68000? If not is it possible to have a switch that - selects between the chips (when the computer is turned off)? - And most off all is it worth the trouble? - You can just remove the old 68K and put in the 68010. There is (at least) one instruction that bombs the '010 Amiga, but there are programs like DeciGel and also (I think) PD versions that handles this. These, however, reduces the normally not-so-great 10% advantage by some. There may exist a small board with room for both chips that plugs in the normal socket, like the Kickstart Selector boards, but I would say about the 68010: Don't bother. tope@enea.se Tommy Petersson
