pfft, a 12MHz 68000 copro is rather nice... :-) (possibly the fastest 
production beeb copro built?)

I can't remember what speed the 32016 copros I have run at. I think 
they're all 8MHz but underclocked to 6MHz, rather than being the 10MHz 
chips (not sure if Acorn ever released 10MHz boards - all the ones for 
the beeb and ACW that I've seen have been the slower types)

We may have a spare one at the museum if you're desperate. We get 
offered that sort of thing from time to time, but I tend to turn them 
away these days as they're not easy machines to find homes for normally. 
I'm not back in the UK for another month though...
