                    68020/68030 Processor Board Reference

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  This processor board is the board supplied with the A4000/030. It may
  contain a 68030, 68EC030 (functionally equivalent to the 68030 but without
  a memory management unit), or even a 68020 processor. The 68020 option was
  apparently for an extremely low-cost version of the A4000; it is unlikely
  that any boards using the 68020 were ever sold.

  A possible cost-reduced variation of this processor board has no jumpers.
  This type of board has a PLCC socket for the math coprocessor, which runs
  at the same speed as the processor.
