I am the almost happy owner of 3 A4000´s, although none of them is operational. But that´s only a minor detail  :-D
I am preparing one of them to sell and spend the money on the other two such as an accelerator or so ...
The problem now. Two of the A4000´s have got a 3630, the third one has got a 3640 that is gonna get an Xcalibur in the next coming days (I hope so). Now about those 3630. I thought they were all almost similar according to the Big Book ...
But they are a bit different. Both have got an 68EC030 processor, but then the difference starts. One has got an fpu the other one doesn´t. The one without fpu has got no occilator next to the processor and the one with fpu has got a 50 Mhz occilator next to the processor. Does this mean it runs on 50 Mhz like the Blizzard 1230/4 or is this like a 68040 board where 50 Mhz means that the processor actually runs on 25 Mhz ???

The fpu is actually plugged on the board, the fpu is a processor with a lot of pins at the bottom ...
Is this a good thing ??? Does this mean the fpu runs at 50Mhz ??? Has this got any use if the main processor runs at only 25 Mhz ???
