@Piru

Thanks for the info - am certain now that it is the chip, not the board which is at fault.

cpu060 returns PCR value of04310403 (in hex - the first 16 bits in binary translates to 0000010000110001).  If it was a board issue there would be no reason for the cpu to return a PCR value stating it is an LC.  It should have returned 04300101 (translates to 0000010000110000).  I am returning the chip for replacement/refund (hopefully replacement).

In fairness to this thread & Amigakit.com I must point out that it was myself at fault - I did not read the description of the item properly when buying from Amigakit. It was entitled 68060, but the description stated it was an EC version without FPU.

Despite this Amigakit.com has offered to replace the CPU for a same-priced 50MHz full 060.

You just can't fault them - they are the best!

Am also greatly relieved it was not my soldering at fault :-)
