A3660
« on: May 01, 2022, 05:16:37 PM »
Hi all,

Anyone had experience with the A3660? Im looking at this for my A3000D:

https://amigastore.eu/en/827-a3660-rev-11.html#/

Ive got a CSMKII 060 in my 3000T. How does the A3660 compare? The MKII has got RAM but does it make a visible difference? MIPS quoted for the A3660 @ 60 MHZ look to be more than what SYSInfo shows for my MKII @50 MHZ c39 MIPS.

Also anyone had experience of AMIGAStoreEU how do they compare other AMIGA stores - Amigakit, Retropassion, Vesalia, Alinea?

Weed.

That's what I was reckoning - fats ram on the accelerator board like the CSMKII would make quite a bit of difference. The A3660 will still be an improvement on the stock 25 mhz 030 though. I did manage to get a v3.1 A3640 with a low height heat sink working years ago. I might give that a go again.

My CSMKII has a rev5 060 with MMU and FPU. I picked it off ebay years ago with the SCSI module for less than €200! At the time I thought I'd got a good price looking back I got an absolutely fantastic price given how prices have moved for full 060's. I saw rev 6 being touted on Amibay for silly money.

I stumbled across this:

This looks awesome - on board ram and IDE - if it all comes to fruition I'll get one of these. Some test boards on youtube show them working pretty good.
