4744.0. "New14Accel info required urgently" by VIVIAN::D_VISTUER () Wed May 15 1991 09:49

    Sorry about this note, but I intend to make the 'new14accel' this
    weekend and I need a definative statement that clarifies if a 68000p8
    is pin for pin compatible with a 68000p16, if they are in the same DIL
    (64 pin) package, i.e. replacing the current 68000p8 in the amiga with
    a 68000p16 - will it blow my machine through the ceiling ?.
    
    I appreciate that I have already a request for this info in 4731.7 but
    I need this info urgently.
    
    Thanks in advance.

    In a word, YES, the 68000p16 chip works just fine in the Amiga's CPU
    socket.  I ran one in my 2000 for a while, no problems (and no benefit
    without a corresponding clock rate increase).

    Thanks, Mr Moore. On the basis of your clarification, the 'net' wiring
    list is wrong !, as per the 'New14Accel' project.
         
    Once again thanks.
