They do have the same pinout, and a 68010 is a drop-in replacement for
a 68000. Except they stopped making it ages ago, and it's easier to
get a 68000 than a 68010. The 68010 fixed the problem of not being
able to recover from an interrupted instruction, handles double bus
faults correctly, added a few vectors, made the exception vectors
relocatable, and fixed the problem that getting back to supervisor mode
from user mode wasn't privileged in the original
68000 (which made a
nonsense of any protection schemes). However, it has some other
minor
differences that mean it may not be 100% software compatible with a
68000, for example the revised exception stack frames. I'd have to dig
out some very old course notes to tell you more.
