Hi,
i have 2 Apollo 1260 turbocards for sale:
one with 32MB memory and is for both desktop and tower A1200.
The other comes with 64Mb (2x32) and can only be used in a towered A1200.
Both cards are upgraded from 040 with a MC68060RC50 (mask 71E41J) cpu and 100% ok.
Prices are 2250 SEK for the 64MB card and 2000 SEK for the 32MB card.
Shipping (insured) worldwide is 165 SEK.
I also have a few MC68060RC50 (mask 71E41J) cpu:s for sale, price 750 SEK + shipping.
Apollo 040 to 060 upgrade kits (3.3V regulator with header + 1260 eprom) is also available, price 175 SEK.

I'd just like to chime in here and say how happy I am with my 1260 card from PG. His work is top-notch, and the Rev 6 68060 simply rules. (Mine runs at 80MHz without breaking a sweat - in fact, I think 90mHz may be attainable, thanks to the CLK jumper. Also -- raw read speed with an IDE-Fix Express jumps to almost 4.5 MB/s at 80MHz.)
These cards are arguably the best for watching later AGA demos on your A1200.

Im kinda curious about 80 MHz, I have one of these cards myself, bought it from PG and it works great!
Do you notice the speed boost from 50 to 80 MHz in the system? Is it worth the fan noice?
System is fast as hell already, runs of off Compact Flash. Feels like an Amiga on stereoids in hi-res 8 colors.

Did you sell them both?

The system is overall a bit more responsive, icons load faster, anything CPU intensive will benefit somewhat. (As I mentioned above, there's a drastic improvement in IDE performance.) Some demos run better, though anything that's less than fluid at 50 MHz will likely not be 100% perfect at 80.
I'm running mine in a desktop unit, and realistically, it's probably a more worthwhile overclock in a system with a gfx card. (In gfx benchmarks there's very little AGA improvement from 66 to 80 Mhz.)
As for noise, you could probably get away with a low-profile NB cooler and a quiet Pabst 40mm... it runs cool when overclocked, in contrast to the Rev. 1 I had at one time (which was a little furnace at 66 Mhz.)
I think it's worth it at least to try, even settling at 66 or 75 Mhz (with a cooler) is a nice improvement, and pretty safe IMHO.

@ -D- thanks mate!..:-)
The 32MB card is now sold and propably also the 64MB card.

@PG,
PM sent

Both cards are now sold!

Got this in the mail today!. installed and working great. very fast shipping and pro packaging.
Big thumbs up! :-D

Ohh its very noticeable in my setup runs great with mediator :-D . Just wish i had one for my 1200D also "gues i will send my blizz 1240 over to PG alongside my BPPC when i can afford". Althought no hope for 80mhz there.. .... If you have a Fast ata mkIII you will be thrilled with the Apollo 1260@80Mhz as it will give you a HUGE improvement in speed "i have tested" ...

Are these 060's full? (FPU, MMU)
-
Yes they are overclocked 50mhz cpus... :-P Both full FPU MMU and the best rev 060 RC50A... :-P

Do they have a heat sink? or fan?

@spihunter
Congrats dude! :pint:

I think it depends, if PG has any I'm sure he would sell you one with the card.
They don't need extra cooling at the default speed, obviously you must keep it cool if you overclock. No problem in a tower, but a little more tricky in a desktop -- unless you buy a "blower" type 40mm fan (blows sideways). I decided not to go with a blower-type since I wanted something quiet.
I just received an Enzotech low-profile copper NB cooler (http://www.enzotechnology.com/cnb_s1l.htm) for mine. It's a nice size, and comes with an ultra-flat polished surface that shouldn't need lapping. I'm going to use some Ceramique, with just a *smidge* of thermal glue at the corners, so I can take the sink off relatively easy in the future.
I also picked up a 40x10mm SilenX fan (the Pabst equivalent is probably better), and unfortunately it and the sink won't quite fit without hitting the underside of the keyboard. I'm probably going to "rig" some kind of ducting so the fan can be mounted next to the cooler. Naturally, a shorter heatsink could be used, but I prefer a larger copper sink and lower airflow as opposed to a small sink and a noisier fan.
Anyhoo, time to stop rambling and go eat some Salmon! ;-)
cheers
