While we're at it.  What are the differences between the II, IIx, and IIcx?
Can a II be upgraded to IIcx or faster for a reasonable rate.  As far as I
know, the only differences are: 68020 vs 68030, PMMU (II has it, IIx/cx use
the 030), 68881 vs 68882.  Does everything all run at 16Mhz?  Can the
thing be souped up to run at 30?  I've got a II and want to guarantee 
compatibility for a long time.  If I can't upgrade to equal or better
to the IIcx, I'm gonna trade.  Icould use the portability anyway.  Also,
I really need the speed (iterative techniques to problem solving being what
they are).  Is there a way to just replace the processors on the II mother
board or are we talking board swap?  I'm thinking if I act fast I can
do about an even swap for the IIcx if I get a good price on my II.
