Drop a 68010 in and the Operating System (TOS) dies a horrid death.
No electrical problems, just the software crashes out. The same
problem would exist for the 68020, problems multiplied many times.
You can boot an alternate OS, but then you don't get to run any
of your ST software.
I use an '010 in "that other machine". It speeds up the multiply/divide
instructions *a lot*. Other than that the increase in speed is minimal.
Since I had to replace a physically damaged 68000 in the machine anyway,
the '010 made sense.
