I bought 8 of those same ROM chips (blank) for my GVP devices
  • Impact Series 2 SCSI (A4008+HC)
  • My friends G-Force 040
  • Impact A500 HD8+ Series II
so I have a couple spare m8y so I shall program you the latest 4.15 ROM and its yours for being AWESOME

now insofar as the CPU, it would be worth trying a FULL 030 with MMU, and also put a PGA FPU in there. I personally would be tempted to change the clock to 50Mhz see if the board / chip could take that

Now PGA 030's are becoming a pain in the arse to get hold of! and as such eBay are spanking out some rediculas prices, nigh on £50 just for a fecking 20 year old CPU!!!!

put up a wanted on AmiBay m8, I shall keep my eyes pealed on eBay for you as well

now PM me your deets
aw excellent, thank you my friend Let me know if you need my address details for the rom.

With regards to upgrading to a 50MHz 68030 that sounds like a better idea.

Can I buy any 68030 50MHz / Maths co-processor and any old 50MHz crystal or are there specific chips I should be looking for???
