Nah they exist in DIPs for exactly the reason that they were used to replace a lot of 68000s I expect. Thinking about the clocking aspect, most of the 68k Amigas run at 7MHz or multiples thereof (for example my A1200 is 14MHz '020), don't ask me why. They used 8MHz (or multiples thereof) 68ks in their machines and they seem to work just fine :). O'course you'd also have to unsolder the SPU off the board, not a pretty act but possible with a soldering iron, solder sucker and a bit of patience! -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Visit my Homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson> "Never send a human to do a machine's job." -The Matrix -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
