silly question about 68060 CPU
« on: November 04, 2003, 02:33:02 AM »
HI guys,

yes this is a very stupid question but, i had to ask it.

Can i put a 68060 to replace the CPU on a 1230 accelerator board and get it to work?

what mods would need to be made to the board to get it to function as a proper working 68060 for my lovely A1200? "have solder will travel"

cheers guys, yes you may begin the jeering and mocking

whats the performance difference between a 68040/40 against a 68060/25, 68060/40, 68060/50, and above? just how fast can the 68k go too?

i have never used a 68060 so dont know just how quick they feel. For graphics apps, workbench, wordprocessing, games etc...

cheers, pardon my ignorance, ta :-)
