It seems as if all you want a 030 for is speedier IP operations, then you do not need the MMU. According to Ben, IP does not use standard OS calls for their screen IO therefore using the MMU to push ROM into 32-bit ROM will not be benefitial, and you'd be better off using that extra 512K as Fastram. I use my MMU with SETCPU to speed up my workbench, and programs such as Pagestream's screen I/O, Imagine, etc. Since the CSA MMR is a modular system, you can get one without the MMU and then always add on to it in the future. Of course you can not add a MMU to a non MMU 030, but on the CSA board you can add Static RAM and utilize its built in circuitry to push system ROM into 32-bit RAM if you so desire that need in the future.
