Apollo 1240 Accelerator upgrade to 060?
« on: April 16, 2011, 12:11:22 PM »
Hi,
 
Just managed to purchase one of these units and was wondering what is the best way to upgrade it to a 060?  Is it easy?
 
Also if I decide to stick to 68040 do I need to reinstall os3.9 to make use of the processor?
 
Any help greatly appreciated.

Has to have a MACH131 CPLD to stand a chance of being upgraded.
 
Then it needs the CPU desoldering and the replacement (or a socket) adding.
 
Needs a new xtal oscillator, EPROM, some jumpers changing and a voltage regulator board.

Does Amigakit or any other Amiga organisation do this service?
