- I get my VXL-30s directly from Microbotics.. They supply the 25 Mhz
- version in EC and non-EC versions, and the 40 Mhz in the EC version.
- The 50 Mhz is the non-EC version. The 40 Mhz VXL-30 differs from the
- 50 Mhz in the 68030 chip, crystal and a pal chip(that was what I was
- told by tech support at Microbotics). The 40 Mhz VXL-30 can be changed
- to the 50 Mhz by replacing the 68EC030 with a 50 mhz 68030, and the
- crystal change. There is a different memory controller for 50 Mhz.
-
- I am very happy with my 40 Mhz, I don't think I will worry about it...
- Now that the 32 bit memory is here, my system is 3.2 times an A3000-25.
