I've searched threads but still unclear if it is possible..I bought a MC68030RC33B processor chip. I have a SE/30 logic board with a socketed processor and I am going to try swapping the 16mhz. with this 33mhz.. From what I can tell this is the 33mhz. model without the coprocessor which I don't need because it is already soldered on the board in another area.. basically same configuration as the 16mhz. version. The clock crystal says 33mhz.. so I don't know if I need something higher to match or if the 33mhz. is sufficient.. I understand the bus speed is 16mhz… Anyone know if this might give me any sort of performance enhancement??? I also will be putting a IIsi ROM to make it 32bit clean…

Thanks Matt

I have this in my se/30:

and it works great.

Their webpage is up, and they have an order form- are they really still in business?
