A faster 68k won't do any good aslong as you have no way of clocking it seperatly
from the rest of the system. Just clocking it faster (there where "turbos" of this
kind) won't do much good unless you have some RAM clocked in sync with the CPU.
A 68010 will bring about 10%, and allmost as much incompability-troubles with
games as an full 68020, only with the difference that there no way to turn it off.
A500-accels should work, and if they don't it's probraly only due to wrong timings
(this more of a problem when running those in an A1000 or A2000A), physical
damage should be very unlikely, aslong as you check wether it really fits. Could be
that some CDTV-chips/componets may make unwanted contact with the accel.
You could try to fiddle another socket between board and accel...
good luck with closing the case after that :-o
