A500 68000 16mhz?

iirc there is a 28mhz line from denise? that is halved to provide a 14mhz clock to a 16mhz 68000.
there is some incompatibility with the floppy especially but some programs have problems as well.

some polygon type programs speed up a little, as well as some cpu bound programs but other than that its not worth it. lha would speed up some.

there was a mod that synced the clocks so a switch could flip between 7.16 and 14 I don't know haw well it did though. Without it flipping frequencies would freeze the machine.

The 68000 has a lot of "dead" time on the bus, time where it's not doing anything, during multiplies or any other long instruction. This would reduce that, the memory would keep up as well as with any '020 or '030 accelerator

Where can I get such 68010's anyhow? I'd like to pop one in my 600 until I can find a deal on a 030.

you can't just "pop" one into your 600 since your 68000 is a surface mount chip. 1000's 2000's and 500's have the socketed 68000. The 600 accelerators I have seen have a cap like thing that goes on top the 68000 and disables it.

The 68010 speeds up loops because it has what amounts to a loop cache on the chip. depending on the software this can speed up code up to 10% from what I've heard. That is quite a bit more that the 14mhz hack and is completely compatible with all but the very oldest software.
