FYI, the German magazine "c't" had a small project a couple of years ago
(7/1993) that replaced a 68020 with a 68030 and a few PALs. They still sell
the PCBs for 40 DM + shipping. If you know how to deal with a soldering
iron the PCB and a used '030 may be a lot cheaper than an MMU - and give
you about 10% more speed, too.
