I have an old Apollo 400t that I'm upgrading to a 425t via motherboard
swap.  The 400t board has a socketed Motorola 68030 chip that runs at
50mhz.
Hmmm....I thought, Maybe I can put that cpu in my SE/30 which runs MacBSD...
S
So, my question is, can anyone think of a reason why I would not want to do
this?  I assume that since its an 030 chip, just faster, there shouldn't be
any problems but wanted to make certain before going ahead.  It sounds to
me a lot like putting in a DayStar 50mhz accellerated chip.  Am I
overlooking anything glaringly obvious here?

Thanks.

Ben
