If you were to successfully put an 060 on a 3640, for example, I believe it would run at 50MHz, since I seem to remember that the 040 halves the clock supplied to it. I.e. there is a 50MHz oscillator on the 3640...

Don´t qoute me on this though, I am only reciting from what I seem to remember... :)

@Effy

Why would someone want to downgrade their 1260 to a 1240? That just doesn´t make any sense... :)

@Framiga

Thats what I meant... All the cards are marked 1260, regardless of whether there is a 040 or 060 on it, and the discussion from the top seemed to be "This is a Blizzard 1260, but with a 040 on it, so I should easily be able to switch it back" and I tried to highlight this by asking why anyone in their right mind would exchange an 060 with an 040...

@Karlos

Because the 040´s used in Amigas were actually military grade chips supposed to be used in a secret space station orbiting the earth? :)
