               Clive,
                     Hello. Yes the Dallas is the 68000 @ 12 Mhz
                     same as the XL.The speed increase of the XL was acheived
                     by program improvements.

              Please see : Mr. Larry Kaufman article on the XL in his
                           Computer Chess Reports  1987-1988 on page 29.

                 Alan
