Full 68060's 75Mhz for sale

[mike-]

Well, I struck a good deal and I want to share it with you all.

The price pr. cpu will be $60 - $75 - $100. This depends on things like shipping, import tax, and the cost of actually getting the money there.. I can also get the 75Mhz crystals, but i need to know which crystals, ( 14 or 8-pin ) I get 7 of these babies at the beginning of next month, if the interest is high, i'll have him send me more.

sounds intriguing, i've got a bliz1260'050. don't know how it would work though.

Hi,

I'm interested but ignorant

I have a Blizzard 030. Can I just change the 030 for the 060 and get a faster Amiga?

Thanks!

AFAIK the 75 Mhz is without FPU unit.

[Framiga]

no wurzel, you can't :-(

[arnljot]

But can you just pop one of these puppies in a csppc060 and have 75mhz operations, and what impact will the loss of fpu have? (which applications)

[A1260]

these are just totally useless if your not going to build a new card for the amiga, that is....

I have one here that does _NOT_ say 68060ec75 ... nor LC. I got them to send me one to check

You'd need at least an 040 accelerator, they can be modified to use 060's. Need more voltage and the crystals.

Not all of them.

It probably will, its the equiv of putting a faster cpu in a motherboard that will support it... Though you have to change the crystals. Thats using the 8 pin btw.

I've heard horror stories about the scsi module getting overclocked and scewing up on some cyberstorms tho.

Thats what im doing, though my a4k motherboard and cppc is at reparis, and he has it working with a 68060ec75 i hear. I didn't know the full 060 75mhz existed until recently.

On the Mk-II series I believe, they screw/corrupt the scsi. But of your not using a scsi it will work.

Anyway,
if you want one.
PM me.

Name, email, quantity, with or without crystal.

Freescale do not list full 68060 75Mhz on their site, the fastest listed is 60Mhz which I have on my Blizzard.

If you install the CPU on your card you can you the CPU command or Sysinfo to check if everything is present and correct.

My Blizzard currently is clocked at 66Mhz.  I clocked it up to 80Mhz, but it would hang as soon as you switched the FPU on (i.e. running setpatch).  Using the CLI, I was able to run a few demos that didn't require setpatch to be enabled and I was very impressed with the speed.

There are FPU versions of quite a few applications out there and a few that require one to run, I think Quake does.

If these turn out to be full 68060 75Mhz parts and they can run stable at 80Mhz I might be tempted to part with $60 for one.
