- The same thing was asked of the some of the people who designed the
- A530 a few years ago. Their response was that when they tried it,
- there were some spectacular hardware failures. I think they ended up
- completely redesigning the A530 board with some different chips, etc
- in order to get a working A530+ (RC030 @ 50 MHz) prototype.
- Unfortunately, GVP killed the A530 project before that ever went to
- production.
