This is probobly way off the ball (I'm no electrcal master), but since the
060 is pin compatible with the 040, if you simply reduced the power by 1.7
volts to the 040 socket and popped in an 060, would it work? Just curious
-- I have a GVP G-Force 040/33MHz for the 2000, and there doesn't seem to
be an easy upgrade path for it. Feel free to correct this...
