Motorola 68030 wire wrap prototype

Are you sure that was DG? I have a daughterboard from an Apollo workstation that has a 50mhz 68030, 68881 and a bunch of logic that mates to a 68040 socket.

I don’t think you could build a processor to run the 040 instruction set out of discrete logic without completely blowing your budget but you could build a 68040 bus adapter like Apollo did.

Now that you mention it, I'm not confident. It was a one hour interview 30+ years ago, but that salient points are it was an east coast minicomputer maker. Apollo would be more likely now that you mention it.
