Does it exist, or should I take potluck and an icepack with a 12.5 Mhz part? Any suggestions appreciated. -- Adam David. (adamd@rhi.hi.is)

I'm wondering the very same thing. I want to (ok, I WILL) upgrade my Amiga 500 to a 16 MHz clock speed. There is a new project floating around for such an upgrade that should work better than an old hack people were attempting. Since the actual gain in speed without new memory control is only roughly 50% in performance using a 68000-16 and the gain of a 68010-8 is somewhere around 15%, I would like to combine the two together and do a 68010-16 upgrade. But I haven't seen any 16 MHz 68010 chips anywhere. I would also appreciate any info you can get. Also, has anyone ever seen a 68012?? Are they still around or did those kind of pass in the shadows? For those that haven't heard of it, the 68012 is a 100% 68010-compatible CPU that can address a full two gigabytes of RAM. The 68012 is, however, a square chip so it is not a direct replacement for the 68000 or 68010. But if in fact there is not a 68010-16, perhaps there is a 68012-16? Who knows? --=> Brian Cerveny <=--

There are no 16 Mhz MC68010s. Don't hold your breath waiting. :-) >Also, has anyone ever seen a 68012?? Are they still around or did those kind >of pass in the shadows?

Really, it was just an interim step for folks that needed >16MB memories until full 32-bit microprocessors came to pass. (All it was was a '010 in a larger package with more address lines bonded out.) -- Phil Brownfield phil@motaus.sps.mot.com {cs.utexas.edu!oakhill, mcdchg}!motaus!phil
