A3000, A3640, 060 adapter and internal FPU
« on: April 14, 2016, 08:22:04 AM »
So, I've recently installed a 060 adapter in my A3640 and all in all is working fab with a LC060/50. Of course, as the 060 cpu is a LC version without FPU, I'm trying to enable the A3000's own FPU.

Is there a way to enable the onboard FPU?, maybe using J103?

Right, I'm referring to the A3000 motherboard own FPU. Seems a waste to have it and not be able to use it.

I was hoping that configuring the FPU as internal or maybe a hack on the fast slot will do the trick...

Identify a product you think will sell and do it.  Have confidence in your ideas, and if they are good people will buy.

A new "official" kickstart could be a nice idea. If someday it sees the light and its priced right (no need to be free of course :)) I would purchase it for sure.

As for now I've no real need of a full 060, I best prefer having a MMU than a FPU right now; but if I'm able to find a full one and thanks to the patched Cosmo's library (need to check it) I can try to get the full package.
Sadly I cannot get past the original 50Mhz, too slow fast ram zips :-P
