I hate to spoil the discussion, but I doubt that 100 MHz would be possible on an existing accelerator. You allway have to see that the rest of the board has to cope with the higher clock, especially the RAM.


Oh and I have looked up the site of the producer of the CT60. I looks like the Atari too had it`s "BoXeR" that got filed `cos the people who were to write the needed software got bored and went away.
This board was even meant to take two 68060

The producer of the CT60 told me, if you want just one of the 68060 with the right Mask it will cost you around 600 $ each !!
If you buy them in masses you could go down to 50-100$ each. That would probably mean a few thousand of them.
He said that he got really lucky getting just 24 of them at a decent price.
100 MHz will also involve watercooling (remeber it`s overclocked by 100%)
Have a look at this page were you can see such a setup for a Falcon with the CT60 installed (scroll down)

We are far better off waiting for the coldfireproject to get finished. Although the Coldfire lacks an FPU is will be fast enough that it will still beat an 68060 by far.
