Which 68k series can take a 5200/6200 logic board?

I have a 5200, I'm thinking of getting a 68k desktop (not all-in-one), and if it was compatible with the 5200 logic board I could swap that board in for video capturing the 5200 (without having to buy the external monitor cable and get a 68k as a bonus).

But I am not sure which 68k desktops can take a 5200 logic board. I think all in the 630 series?

yup, all in the 630 series have the same connector as the 5xxx and 6xxx series

Thanks nixontheknight for confirming!

Are those the only ones?

Thanks! I suppose the opposite would work as well? Put a 630 series in a 5200?

Do we know off hand if the 580 works with the x200/x300 boards? It would more or less track as it's IIRC not compatible with the other previous 500-series or CC/CCII boards.
