What is fun is software that distinguished between a 020 and 030 (like Open Transport) even though there was little difference other than the MMU and the data cache.
There were only 2 Macs that had the '020 processor in them and the Macintosh II had the MMU on a chip with the '020; the Macintosh LC did not have the MMU. So the Mac II can "hide" as a Mac IIx's 030 as it has a MMU. But this leaves out the LC out of many things. Some people did add a FPU (68881/68882 Math Coprocessor) but that was not enough to give it virtul memory and other things the Mac II can do with the other Macs.
