WTB: 68010 for A500

[derringer3]

I recommend ebay too. In the German section time to time (every week) somebody put up some 68010. Dont't know which MHz, but i think the lowest was 8MHz.

I used a 10MHz in my system years ago, but of course it was clocked only 7,14MHz in my miggy. With a fast memory it was worth at that time.

@James: I used in the mid '90 a 68010 in my a500. And the speed perfmance was about 15% gain from the original 68000 in avarage. (The official hipe was speed gain 5-80%) You can say it is nothing but with fast ram i was happy to any speed gain at that time. And my system was more than double in speed than a vanilla a500. For example it gave me one sometimes two more channel to play in digibooster.

@Piru: try sysinfo.

In digibooster between a 68000 and a 68010 the difference is one or two channel which you can use.

Yeah i don't want to say that 68010 was/is the ultimate accelerator for amiga. And yes when i change to 68010 sometimes i wanted to see that my miggy is faster in copying, rendering etc, so i saw that, what i want, but in true it was the same. But at that time i want to break trou' the 4 channel "barrier" in music, so every mips, processor time says as you can, which i can gain was my friend. It was not a miracle, and most utils is at at that time slowly goes for 68020 or better,  and i have only money at that time for a cheap pc with sb16. So that's why i leave for a while.

ps: don't forget that 68010 is normally a 68000 with the latest factory tech.

In the '90 i never heard about whdload, and i have tons of games, mostly in floppies, some which can be installed in hdd. I have never problem with 68010. If i have then is about the 3.0 kickstart. But when i switched back to 1.3 these problems are gone.
