Has anyone ever succeeded in modifying their 3/80 so they can fit a faster
(say 33 MHz) CPU and co-processor? I have a couple of pairs of 33 MHz
68030/68882's which I'd like to experiment with in a 3/80, but I don't know
if it's worthwhile trying to work out how to adjust the timing circuitry to
boost the CPU clock speed.

However, if it could be done, it would make the 3/80 a much better NetBSD
development base.

Regards,

Craig.
