Interesting.? So it looks like either processor was possible for the U
variant.? (With a 68012 as a possibility as well.)
hpmuseum.net is back up; here's the document I was referring to that
mentions the 68000, see page 16:

What BOOTROM version do you have in your machine?? I have 4.0, I'm
curious if there's a later version.
Thanks,

I'm curious if other people out there with
9836U's can confirm whether their
machine has a 68000 or a 68010 in it, I'd just like to settle the internet
discrepancy once and for all :).
Mine identifies the CPU as a 68010 in the
power-on diagnostic. But from what
I remember the PGA socket could also take a 68012 (with extra address pins
brought out). I don't have such a chip, so no idea what it would identify as.
