According to the 060 docs someone sent me from the
motorola FAQ, the 060 is pin compatible with the 040.
The difference is the power supply. The 060 is a
3.3V chip. I don't know about the 040, but I *think*
most 040s are 5V devices.
So, unless a board is designed to work with differnt
voltage levels for the CPU, an 'upgrade' would probably
mean a board swap. (Or, maybe not.) How is the
040 mounted on the Warp Engine? If it's on a
daugterboard, it might just require a daughterboard
swap.
Who knows, maybe the Warp does work at 3.3V and 5V.
