If you get a replacement 68060 make sure that it is an MC68060RC50 with mask E41J as they run well at upto 100MHz and have (unlike the 75MHz version here) an MMU and FPU

Do you know if any amiga accellerators will actually run an 060 @ 100MHz?

None will due to the Memory controller designs.

Apollo 1260 will run at 80MHz because it has a better memory controller design, but it only supports 64Meg of RAM and the SCSI is poor compared to B1260.

I am just waiting for the compatibility of the PowerVixxen from ACK Software Controls before buying any A1200 accelerator. We know it's not 100% vapourware as they have just bought a large number of A1200 edge connectors from Individual Computing.

Only card I know of that can take that CPU is the Apollo1260. The rest have libs that count on the 060 have internal FPU/MMU so when it doesn't and things need calculated it goes crashing down.

Do your homework man, we are now talking about the MC68060RC50 Rev6 which DOES have both FPU and MMU and will go in ANY Amiga accelerator and IS capable of upto 100MHz.
Unfortunately all Amiga accelerators use relatively slow DRAM and the FPGA/CPLD memory controllers were never designed to handle those rates.
