3075.0. "16Mhz '010 anyone ?" by AYOV28::ATHOMSON (C'mon, git aff! /The Kelty Clippie) Mon Nov 06 1989 11:04

    I now have a CMI Processor accellerator (14.2 Mhz 68000 + 10Mhz 68881 )
    in my A500 (thanks John !!) and being a glutton for speed (within a
    budget) I have been thinking about replacing the (16Mhz) 68000 with a
    68010 BUT I can't find such a beast in any catalogue anywhere ! 8Mhz
    and 10Mhz are available but no 16Mhz. 
    
    All this so far is pure speculation, I don't even know if it'll
    get off the ground, but for sure it won't if I can't find a suitable
    68010. Does anyone know if it exists ? Partnumber will probably
    be MC68010P16 or MC68010C16. What do you think the chances are of
    trying a 10Mhz '010 at 14Mhz and it running ??
    
    Questions, questions, always questions......

    I had asked the same question of CMI a while back.  They basically said
    that only one of every three or four 10 MHz parts would work at 14.4
    MHz.
    
    If you could find a vendor who would be willing to sell you a
    half-dozen parts, maybe you could screen them and return the slow
    parts?
