Easy 68010 question...

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Looking for budget upgrades for my A500.  Those 68010's from China & Hong Kong that show up on ebay all the time... $5 bucks for a 5% speed increase, seems worth it to me, right?  And it would give me an excuse to open the thing up and clean it, LOL.

This would work on an Amiga, right?  Or should I just save my $5 for a Starbucks latte?  ;-)

I'd get a 68020 turbo card instead.

Hen's teeth, sir, hen's teeth!  ;-)

It took me 9 years to find this A500, hopefully it'll be fewer than 9 more that I'll be able to find a better processor for it ($100 for a 68030?  Dreaming!), so for now the '010 will give me something to play around with, at least!  ;-)  Thanks!

Beware of one thing:
although most things run fine with an 010, one thing that doesn't is the Rob Northern copy protection scheme. Hence forget about running games like Populous unless they're cracked.

Thanks!  For $5 I figured it was worth a shot, now to wait for the loooong shipping before it gets here.  Do you think this type of game would work if I had a hard drive and could run it through WHDLoad (with the 68010)?

Regarding the "Hurricane" accelerator posted about above, I don't read German but the best I could gather it looks like it requires a RAM daughterboard, same as the VXL.  What is it with people selling these accelerators without their RAM boards?  Argh!  Is there ever going to be something like an ACA500 produced?  I see a few mentions of it, but can't find any specific details with my google-fu.  ;-)
