Mike Ditto suggested trying one of the CSA 68020/68881 boards in the UNIXpc.
I just happen to have one here (when I replaced the 020/881 in one of my
Amigas with an 030), so I'll plug it into one of the "extra" UNIXpcs here
and see what happens!
Only see two problems:
1) the CSA daughterboard is tall, so will have to run with the UNIXpc's
hood open, and
2a) HOW can I issue the MOVEC to enable the 020's cache? (since it's a
privileged instruction)
2b) HOW to handle the stack frame differences upon interrupts?
