Will the add-on board be able to handle a 68060 processor and whatever RAM it needs, possibly 1 stick of SDRAM and maybe a fast (UDMA) IDE interface? It would probably need an extra FPGA to coordinate everything though.

I was thinking that this would make for a killer A1200 replacement once an AGA core was available for the main board :-D

I'd like to see something interesting from an AGA core such as extended resolutions as mentioned, but also things like a speeded-up blitter and near-zero memory contention so that high-resolutions are snappy in high-colours.

128MB chipmem would certainly be interesting to see!

Does the board have USB connectivity, btw? I get the feeling that would be beyond the scope of the project :-(

BTW, I have some pulled 060s if you ever need any for testing, Mike ;-)

I would love to borrow a 060 if you have a known good working one, that would really help.


Ah, therein lies the problem, they were all pulled from various random scrap routers and stuff, and I don't have anything to test them on, like a blizzard 1260 for example.

But if you still want any for testing, then let me know.

There's some 040s there too, just to fill the frame :-D

Good stuff, I can't wait to see the results!
