Hey Yo!

The Blizzard 1260 i own was made in 1994/95 and has the revision 1 68060. I have heard that the revision 1 of the 68060 has problems (bugs) with the Store/Load Bypass option, so i have disabled this option on my startup sequence. The question i have is that would this affect my system in anyway (any slowdown?) and would it be possible to put a higher revision 68060 instead of the one i have got already.

Regards,


From the Mot website, it seems switching the "bypass Load/Store" on, disables one of the pipes, effectivly causing your CPU to run at 3/4 it's maximum performace. Though I only scanned the doc I could have misunderstood what it was saying.

So don't bypass the Load/Store unless you have problems.
