Cheap 060's and RAM?
« on: October 20, 2012, 06:00:37 PM »
I was looking at 68060 chips on eBay, and I came across a huge number of these:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NORTEL-NT5D03FB-01-CP-68060E-128MB-refurbished-/130776132583?pt=Phone_Switching_Systems&hash=item1e72dd6be7

I found a reference to the 68060E and the pinout appears to be the same as the RC68060.  I also found a reference to an Atari ST accelerator board using these.  What I don't know is if the 68060E has the MMU/FPU like the normal (non-68EC060) does.  Does anyone know?

$14.99 for a 68060+128MB RAM seems like a good deal to me!

ALL of this model Nortel board use the standard plug-in type of 060, not a SMT version.  You remove the 060 with the heat sink.  There appears to be to hundreds, if not thousands of these available as they were discontinued.  You just pull these out with the heat sink attached and plug them into another board.

The 68060E is not the same as the 68EC060, but I don't know what the difference is.
