Could someone explain the cache and burst modes of the 68030 (my GVP G-Force 030 uses it with MMU and 68882)? the philosophy of using these modes with instructions and/or data? and how they affect the the 386 Bridgeboard in particular (since I have one) and also Autopilot? TIA in for a mini-tutorial! Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless' from the Rocket City! via AutoPilot 1.03a
