Wrong. Not *all* 030s and 040s have an MMU. There are EC versions of these chips which are pin-for-pin replacements. The EC030 does not have an MMU, and the EC040 is missing the FPU and (I believe) the MMU. The 68020 could use an external MMU (68551?) and I am not sure what, if anything, could be done with a 68000/68010. The differences between an RC020 (full) and the 68EC020 used in the A1200 are primarily external. i.e. there are only 24-address lines instead of 32. I don't recall if the data bus is different. >jim frost >jimf@world.std.com >-- >http://world.std.com/~jimf Let's get our facts straight! If you are not sure about something, you can state it in such a way as to make that clear. Remember... some people actually BELIEVE things people write. -- ======================================================================= Jeffrey W.
