Where to buy 80mhz 68060 cpu with full fpu and mmu?
« on: July 28, 2006, 01:57:43 AM »
Im thinking about buying a voltage regulator for my Apollo1240 and then paying someone to solder on an 060.

The only 060's ive seen for sale are just under 20 quid but have no mmu or fpu. Are these worth buying? Is there anywhere to get one with full mmu and fpu?

What I need is a MC68060RC50 I think

Thanks

Ok laser. I already have the the volatge regulator and you can buy crystals from anywhere for under £1.

All I need is the 68060 cpu which ive seen for sale on ebay uk in the past but may take some time tracking down.

And of course I would not change the cpu myself I would pay AmigaCentre or any other electronics firm to do it for me.

You make out as if its impossible.

I have just emailed Amiga Center France about upgrading it and also maybe adding a 2nd SIMM socket.

According to my Apollo 1240/1260 manual when using a 68060 cpu you use the install disk and it makes adjustments to the 68040.library or something like that.

Just bought the Apollo made voltage regualtor for £12 as I doubt they will show up on ebay again anytime soon.

I bought an original apollo volatge converter off ebay.

I got a reply from AmigaCenter:

Hello,
 
You also must got the Eprom or its file. I do not know how it could work without it, perhaps well, perhaps not.
After you just have to replace cpus and put jumpers in correct way ( clock, 040/060 ) and plug the 3.3 V small pcb.
I never do this job, so i cannot tell a price.
I think you can do by yourself.
 
Kind regards,

I can easily pay someone to desolder and solder the cpu. The volatage regulator simply plugs in to the board. The only problem now is the eprom/file. Which looks extremely hard to find. Oh well
