it is known that the 604-233 is unstable under 'worpup'
I've heard of A1200 603-200 Powerup running stable at 266 and 280 MHz.
I will try it next year.

then forget Amiga.
Get the _Amirage QNX_! #The new Amiga#.
Modern hardware, 4 XC7400 cpus, modern OS with
multiprocessing, multiuser, mem protect, modular design, ...
Only *Phase5* makes it possible.
