Any demand for 060 boards for A1200's?
« on: November 24, 2003, 02:20:03 AM »
I have access to a significant quantity of 060 accelerators (board, cpu, and ram expansion) for the Amiga 1200. Is there any demand for such an animal?

I think there is a demand, as long as they aren't Apollo boards.   :-)

Yes, the market for classic Amiga hardware has dwindeled somewhat in recent years.. but it's deffinately a sellers market. You could still make a fourtune on e-bay!

I would buy one if I had the money!

The 75MHz Apollo1260 cards used EC 060's, so no floating point unit. Avoid if you want to use any type of 3D game since quake1...

@voytech

I have read that genuine 66MHz rated 68060s can be overclocked to 75MHz provided you install some serious cooling.

However, I dont think the 14% increase from 66MHz to 75MHz is worth the risk of killing what is a difficult (and expensive) to replace part.

Another point to note about 68EC060s - most software that is written to take advantage of the 68060 tends to assume that its a full 060.

I have heard of lots of 060 apps failing to work on EC060 thus forcing the use of 020/030 code. Naturally it runs very quickly, but 68060 optimised code on an 060 can be considerably quicker than 020/030 code on an 060 due to pipeline optimisations etc.

Given the choice, I'd go for a full 68060 @ 66MHz than a 68EC060 @ 75MHz any day...
