Is there any possibility of the Moto 68040 CPU being pin-compatible with the Moto 68030? Does anyone know for sure?

Does anyone know for sure? The parts are not pin-compatible. The 040's inclusion of the floating point processor on-chip is one reason. The parts *are* software-compatible. -- Ron Voss, Systems Engineer Motorola Inc, Microcomputer Division [mcdapps,hplabs]!motsj1!rnv Opinions (and facts?) are my own
