A500 68000 16mhz?

[tone007]

You can put the processor in, it'll still run at 7mhz due to the crystal.

To get it to run faster (I believe there's a 14mhz hack,) it's a little more work than just swapping the parts I believe.

Well i put it in the 500.

Guess what, it's still running at 7mhz!

A benchmark should show no improvement.

One of the benefits of dropping in a 68010 is WHDLoad's quit keys will work, which is not the case on a 68000.  Obviously if your system isn't beefy enough to run WHDLoad, this doesn't help you much, but with a couple MB of Fastram and a HD, even a 500 can do alot with WHDLoad.

I wonder if you could have the best of both worlds and stick an '010 in the AdSpeed.

There is no reason why you can't use a 68010 in the 14mhz daughterboards. Finding a P16 68010 is another issue. Personally I'd rather have something compatible than 2% faster in reality.

Also you will need some sort of patch for earlier Workbench editions, I still have it on a floppy disk somewhere.

..and I'd rather have a WHDLoad machine I don't have to reboot between games than 100% compatibility.  68010 runs the great majority of things I've tried just fine, however I've since upgraded my 500 to an '030 (for REAL WHDLoad compatibility.)  Obviously throwing an '010 into a floppy based system isn't going to do much for you.

It doesn't actually run any games faster in reality than a 68000 either, been there done that all in the 80s.

Of course not, why should it?  For the most part that's due to the design of the games, otherwise your Lemmings would all be paste before you had a chance to touch the mouse while playing on an '060.  Were you hoping for a quicker Kong, Daddy-o?

If someone where to do this for an A500, my god :laughing:

An A4000 motherboard does fit in an A500 case.

..just so you know.

But the board in the 1000 isn't an original A1000 board, it's his GBA1000 custom board.  If you're replacing the whole motherboard, you can do anything.

Not to say it isn't cool, but it's not exactly taking an A1000 plugging an '060 in.

edit: and at least a couple of people have hooked up '060 accelerators to their 500s.  Internal would be tricky given the size of any current A2000 '060 cards, but definitely possible.
