- Sounds like crap to me.
-
- First, the 020 in your CD32 is surface mounted (I know because I've looked).
- This makes cut-and-swap jobs next to impossible without specialised tools.
-
- Second, the 030 from Macs is, AFAICR, pin-incompatible with the EC020 in the
- CD32.
-
- And third, just swapping chips won't increase your speed in any case. You
- need to change your CPU clock crystal, which needs additional hardware.
-
- So no, I don't think he's for real.
