Yeah, that's it.

I'm not sure.  You could ask someone like Simtec, or post on 
comp.sys.acorn.hardware.  The chips themselves aren't particularly expensive, 
but you will either need to buy a complete RiscPC processor card, or find 
someone who can fit the new device to your existing card.  I suspect the 
former option is likely to work out cheaper.

They have a variety of problems, but the main one relates to handling data 
aborts.  I don't remember all the details off the top of my head, but you can 
probably find them in one of the mailing list archives.  Or I think the errata 
document is on Intel's web site.
