Chinese 68060 Rev 6

[AJCopland]

I have no idea and haven't gotten a reply when I've asked before, the datasheet (pdf) linked too is about the 68060 but nothing actually mentions the FE133 version.

I'd suggest that it doesn't actually exist and is possibly a mistake or something since neither Motorola nor FreeScale have any information regarding a cpu with that designation.

It'd be nice to find out though.

Ah thanks for clarifying that Alex. That would suggest though that its a full 68060 in plastic QFP format running at 133Mhz but as you say there really doesn't seem to be any information about any such 68060 anywhere/ever.

Its not like you could just order one and plop it onto an existing board either since all of the amiga accelerators used the through-hole. Unless someone wants to risk destroying their late model Apollo 1260 and it's PGA adapter.

Oooo. Photo required :-o

New (i.e. since FreeScale) 68060s? I didn't think they made them and were just selling off stock.

Do those have 68060 sockets?

Yes but they are very, very, very fragile. Take care not breaking it when removing and inserting the CPU as the repair is ~€150 at Amiga repair center in France.

Why on earth did they not use a "thru-hole" PCB design?

Cost perhaps? Though I'd have though thru-hole would be cheaper (without knowing anything at all about board manufacture I hasten to add) :-D

PS: Alex,  sorry I've never gotten back to you about my MiniMig, I've never been able to get decent photos of the area. Just so you know.
