-in article <1455@wpi.wpi.edu>, pawn@wpi.wpi.edu (Kevin Goroway) says:
-
-> I was just told that Commodore displayed a 25 Mz version of the 68020 board
-> at the Hanover Show in Germany?  Is there any truth to this?  
-
They showed a "pre-alfa" version of a 25 MHz 68030 (yes '30) board.
The person I spoke with "hoped it wouldn't come out until late '90,
since it's workings were so lousy... sorry - unpredictable".
The '020 boards can have a faster '881 (25 MHz), but not the whole board.
They also said that You couldn't just plug this faster '030 board
in a normal 2000, some things had to be changed/added(?).

It was fast anyway...

I think GVP and other companies will beat Commodore in this race.
