Well,  that one is a 10 MHz part while the 68000 I have is I think an 8 MHz 
part,  which is a bigger increase than that,  but the clock driving the thing 
would need to be changed too,  and I don't think they have exactly the same 
pinout,  though it's been a really long time since I looked at that material.
