A3630 (68020/68030) Processor Board Reference


This processor board is the board supplied with the A4000/030. It may contain a 68030, 68EC030 (functionally equivalent to the 68030 but without a memory management unit), or even a 68020 processor. The 68020 option was apparently for an extremely low-cost version of the A4000; it is unlikely that any boards using the 68020 were ever sold. A possible cost-reduced variation of this processor board has no jumpers. This type of board has a PLCC socket for the math coprocessor, which runs at the same speed as the processor. (See also Tips/Processor Board Mounting.)
