Full 68060's 75Mhz for sale

[Rob]

Freescale do not list full 68060 75Mhz on their site, the fastest listed is 60Mhz which I have on my Blizzard.

If you install the CPU on your card you can you the CPU command or Sysinfo to check if everything is present and correct.

My Blizzard currently is clocked at 66Mhz.  I clocked it up to 80Mhz, but it would hang as soon as you switched the FPU on (i.e. running setpatch).  Using the CLI, I was able to run a few demos that didn't require setpatch to be enabled and I was very impressed with the speed.

There are FPU versions of quite a few applications out there and a few that require one to run, I think Quake does.

If these turn out to be full 68060 75Mhz parts and they can run stable at 80Mhz I might be tempted to part with $60 for one.

On the Mk-II series I believe, they screw/corrupt the scsi. But of your not using a scsi it will work.

It can be a bit of lottery with over clocked Blizzard 1260 and SCSI modules, some work at higher speed and others don't.

I have an XC68EC060RC60 installed in my Blizzard card it has both an FPU and MMU, can anyone tell me why the is an EC in the part number.

I don't have the mask version as I don't have the board to hand and had to hunt the part number down in my account history.
