Isn't there compatibility issues with the 060?

Probably more than with 020/030 (040?)
How much compatibility could be achieved by using "de-grader" code, turning off cache's etc. when necessary? I've read that 060 doesn't work together with KS1.3.


I'm not sure. It is just stuff i've read etc... I would love an all singing all dancing super high performance Minimig. If it can be done and keep a good level of compatibility then bring it on!

Your ideas are almost exactly like mine. :-D


So what is possible? What is achieveable? What would it take?

060, lots of memory, ethernet port, quick hardfile support (I don't see the point in adding an IDE controller)....

@Lorraine

I dont think the production cost would be much different between the systems. So why not make the best you can, that you do the most you can with? Then as more people buy it, it becomes cheaper to produce making it better for everyone.
