Howdies! I am contemplating upgrading my A-2000's micro-processor. I would like to know if any of you people have attempted (and succeeded?) the same. Initially, I was leaning toward the 68020/68881 combination, but now I am having other thoughts. What about this 68000 "accelerator"? I have seen it advertised, but not in operation. And are there really THAT many programs which, despite C-A's warnings, use "move <ea>" instructions? Also, will there be any apparent increase in processor speed, if I use a 68020, without 32-bit RAMs? And where does the 68030 belong in this discussion?. If anyone has any thoughts, comments or experience in this arena, responses would be appreciated. Charles Conlow 74116,3067
