Mine is a Blizzard 1260/66, and th 060 is actually
a 60mhz chip(I checked :-)). AFAIK you can just
swap your 50mhz crystal with a 66mhz crystal, as long
as you put a heatsink/fan on it. You can get a real
nice fan from CompUSA, a 486 fan made by Startech.
You have to slightly modify one of the raised edges on
the heatsink, but it's real quiet, especially at
7.5 volts. I also used some CPU thermal gel, and no
matter how hard I drive the 060 the air blowing from the
fan is always cool. If you're lucky, I understand you
may even be able to get away with 75 or 80mhz.

I would try it anyway, it sounds like a fun
project. Mine unfortunately is not the 'A'
version, but I'm still going to try 75mhz one
of these days, or at least 70.
