I just ordered a 68010 for my Amiga 1000 from a collector and recycler
of Amiga parts. I was told the main speed increase would be in memory
intensive operations.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

Anyway, What's a 68010 do? Anyone have
pinouts/assembler refrences/etc?
Can I make it do something interesting?
IIRC, when you replace a 68000 in an Amiga with one of them the Amiga will
be 14% faster. However, some software would no longer work on it, as it is
slightly different, slightly faster than a standard 68000. I gather this
was actaully a popular Amiga upgrade in day's gone by.
I don't know if this trick would work in a Macintosh or Atari (for all I
know there might have been a model of Atari that used it, none of the Mac's
did).
