I read somewhere (possibly a NatAmi post) that the FPGA would do poorly at attempting an 68060, but works for a simpler design at a higher clock rate. See if you can track that down. Adapting it to pin-for-pin plug into a socket is another matter; Jens does a lot of work in this area and might know, although us talking to him about accelerators is like asking Einstein to show you how he derived E=MC2.

I think a 32-bit core (68020) running at 100Mhz is more likely, but then converted to silicon it might go even higher with less heat. Again, Jens would know.

There might be copyright issues by the way.
