Second that.

Are all pins really used?, or is that tool reporting this because all unused pins are tied high/low?

All pins are used.

I have been hospitalised!! I shall report back in a few days. Apologies to anyone who ordered boards since Thursday. I won’t be able to ship them until I’m discharged

Just to add that all 030 CPU`s are not equal, I use the 40mhz and have a variation on the the Dhrystones from 8700 9200 even the genuine `Gold ` 030/50 scores 8700 Dhrystones :), like everything in life yer pays yer money and takes yer choice :)

This is simply sysinfo being unreliable. It really is a crap piece of software. you will get varying results even with the same CPU. Do a "Make module" test with AIBB for a lot more accurate results.
