I will take one.  Send me a PM with paypal info

- With a true 68060, the adapter will need a Kickstart with a special exec.library

Just to check, as cannot find the info anywhere.  Does this require a patched physical kickstart (ie, an EPROM) or can I softkick?

I have a 3640 I'd like to upgrade to an 060.

Softkick impossible, my dear Dan !!

You need my special exec flashed on 2 eproms !

I recommand you Romy to build an 1 Mb Kickstart 3.9, much better than the 3.1, really...

Can the adapter be installed in a A3000D?, the A3640 is unmodified...

I haven't been able to find any previous experiences, seems that all the people has A4000 machines

Hum... The floppy drive will be a problem...

I tried : no !

And no too on my MK3...

The adapter can be modified to remove the middle socket (but requires technical skill to do it successfully). Many people on Amibay have already done this:

This will allow the 060 adapter to fit in an A3000D. However, there will not be any space left for a heat sink or cooling fan (unless you hack a hole in the floppy drive tray). The 060 should run cool enough at 50MHz but will need some extra cooling for overclocking.

P.S. Any modification or overclocking of the 060 Adapter is at your own risk!

Yes, I did it too here : and I put the regulator upside down...

[jltursan]

Mechanical modifications are already assumed. No problem in cutting a hole :hammer:

I was mostly thinking in the hardware logic, I know that A3000 are specially nitpicking with A3640 boards. Mine works flawlessly; but I'm worried about the 060 upgrade. I also have your speed hack ready to be assembled in my A3640, I suppose it would be a good thing :-)

About possible overclockings, I can try to reach 60Mhz; it's usually hard to go beyond 30Mhz in the A3000 PCB without fast SIMM rams and other mods, right?

[amiga1260]

I bought the 040/060 adapter from Cosmos and have modified Kickstart ROMs.

I als bought a 68060@50MHz REV1 with heatsink. My 3640 card has been upgraded to rev 3.2 and remove 2 wait states mod.

If I compare my 3660 with a Blizzard 1260 and Cyberstorm PPC, then it gives me 1 mips faster then those Phase 5 cards.

The only problem with this combination is the slow motherboard fastmem.

Will a WarpEngine with a 060@50Mhz have the same memory speed as a Cyberstorm 060@50MHz?

My strategy for saving the Classic was first to improve the actual and existing software & hardware : sadly, all the manufacturers refused to help in any ways...
