Hi

I have a 68010 a 14 Mhz and 8 Mhz one too, military grade IC just laying here.

It has come from a LaserDisc arcade board by philips, and at his time, this 68010 series came from the 68010 made especially by motorola for philips, for a secret philips proyect, later dropped.

It has a philips signature underside, I think, I can“t remember by now :)

How much?

Not exactly.

The 68k core was half-licenced by motorola in order to make a derivated for internal desings only.

I think it were used for a few comercial electronics (CD-I was one IIRC)

Have Fun

Only that the ICs, are supossed, to be highest quality, but no more.

If a mobbo resistor go melt, you can make a picasso picture for your room with the the military grade ICs :) They are useless.

The "normal" amiga custom chips are well made enough to make the job, IMO

Best Regards
