[comp.sys.tandy] 16 or 6000...which is it?

I guess I have a few questions to ask...

I would like to do the upgrade to 12MHz, but how can I tell if I have the
6000 board?  I have two different boards one has a date of 1981 on it and
I am quite sure it is a 16 board since the references in the mod don't
correspond.  Unfortunatly the other is being used right now, and I forgot
to write down a description before replacing it :^( ... but I do remember two
things, U1 was not a 74F32 (not any type of 32), but moving a jumper to
E5-E7 would make sense (it was near the 24MHz oscliator)

Second has anyone used the 68000 board for another project?  I would be
interested in the results, since as I understand it, it is basicialy a
full system on a board (two with memory...)  

Ocassionialy something goes wrong when I use kermit during a terminal
emulation session, not file transfer.  It starts out when I hear the hard
drive seek several different locations.  Then everything becomes very slow, 
the only way to fix this is to escape back to local and quit, then restart
kermit.  Is kermit creating some huge data area that forces swaps after a
while?  I did compile it myself using OS 3.2 DEV 3.0.1 and kermit 4E(072).
And all logs are set to 'none'.
