I have one, but I really prefer not to part with it.  I would need to be compensated heavily.  :-)    (Blizzard 1260)

"Exactly, in typical cases regarding the 1200 it's even *slower* with an '060 than an '030."

What's wrong with the 060 that makes it *slower* than this 030?  Please explain.

To deviate ever-so-slightly from the subject at hand, does anyone know how an A4000 with 25MHz 040 compares with 50MHz 060 of the later A4000?

I've had both, and the 68060 is so much quicker in everything-particularly if you have an A3640 with its crippled memory bus.  

And YES AGA draw functions are faster on the 68060 too, I once knew why, but not now, sorry.  And i'm not talking about C2P, i mean even things like scala and dpaint which bang the AGA chipset directly are smoother and faster with graphical functions.

it really is a new order of performance when you go from the '040 to the '060.


What's the issue with the memory bus?  It's not also 25 MHz??
