Dear Friends:

I am really curious. Where did you buy your 060 accelerator?

My first 060 processor (1) was a BPPC which I upgraded from a 68040. The BPPC was bought through Ebay, so was the 68060 processor.
I've also owned (2) a Blizzard 1260 (Ebay), (3) a CSPPC 060/200 bought from Ebay, and most recently (4) another CSPPC 060/200 bought through Ebay.

I am saving my money to buy one...but I think I will only buy from amigakit. Did your 060 work well?

(1), (2) and (4) all worked perfectly.
(3) never worked, but it took me so long to isolate the PPC as the problem (I had developed a motherboard problem at around the same time) that I could no longer claim my money back through Ebay :-(

At least if you buy through Amigakit you know they are honest. With Ebay, it is a lottery, although feedback and intuition make it more of an informed guess really.

No problem. You'll really appreciate the 060 when you get it. Can I also suggest getting an RTG graphics card at the same time? It will transform your Amiga experience.
