That's great news and the prices aren't too bad either (and makes those eBay prices look silly).

I'll have to add a link to these from the 1200 that I'm selling on eBay  :lol:

It would appear that they've made good on their recent announcements.  Much better than waiting years and years.  I would love to have another 060 for my second 2000 to build it into a BSD machine.  And new Zorro video cards are sure to be a hit, especially at that price.

If these make it to peoples' hands, rock the frak on.

I take it the RAM sits up too high? Will there still be space for the hard drive and floppy?

Here is a link to info on the GVP-M 68060 accelerator...

http://www.gregdonner.org/gvp4060/solutions-help.html

It's a good design but the SCSI drivers in ROM are broken. There is a Guru ROM already programmed (but not burned) that would fix the problems though. If GVP-M added 128Mb of more modern faster memory already soldered on the accelerator (would fit better in a 3000 then too) and put a socket for the oscillator as well as added the Guru ROM I would be interested at that price. Ultra SCSI with user programmable flash ROM and MAPRom support and I would be even more tempted.

As far as the Spectrum goes, it's really slow and there were some reliability problems with them. The Spectrum is on par with a Picasso II but with different problems. I would get a used CV64 for a 3000 first.

Got an email response pretty quickly - It's 10-14 days for the 4060.

I'll be surprised if this happens. I ordered a GVP-M Typhoon A1200 030/40MHz. April fools???

IT's great they're doing this. Being teathered to the GVP ram is a pain but still awesome news.
