Title: 68060 in a 68040 socket?
Post by: mchaggis on March 21, 2009, 12:01:44 AM

Hi all,

Quick question, will a MC68060 fit in the same socket as a 68040?

Cheers.

Yes it will fit.
but you will need to set the core voltage to 3V (5V default for 040) and CPU multiplier to 1X (0.5X default for 040 - unless the oscillator is lower than 50mhz).

Be sure your board can make those changes before you start any kind of project!

Actually no.  The 040 and 060 use a different number of pins.  It really depends on what socket the accelerator uses.  If the board is designed to use both 040 and 060 it should have the correct socket (easy to tell since there are 4 rows of pins on the 060, and only 3 on the 040).
