No.  AROS 68k requires an '020 or better at this point.


Incorrect. AROS m68k is designed to run on all M68000 architectures, from A1000 to A4000, limited only by available RAM (you needs at least 2M of CHIP plus 1M of anything else to boot at present).

If it doesn't boot on your rig (that has the RAM), it's a bug.

On the x68000 thing, some time ago i stumbled across a japanese page where it had text regarding fpga. It was a page about the x68000, but as i don't know read japanese i'm not sure if it's for a fpga core or an expansion thing. In that page there was talking about a 030 expansion and 060 boards.
Maybe someone who can read japanese can translate it.
When i found the link will post here for all to see.


Unfortunately, the project was cancelled in 2007 due to the high cost and low availability of MC68060 processors: (courtesy of Google Translate)

 Last year (December 2006) up to the time of the technical problems so far has been a challenge (PCB design =), but I was almost clear, concrete implementation (prototype-PCB) preparations PGA socket is the stage to perform (= MPU socket) or it is difficult to arrange, but now I get a very high bid MC68060RC50. At a price you can distribute to everyone as it is so because the price goes away, I somehow can not be resolved, I tried my hand was useless foam. Quantity ordered by a weak capital and we are still absolutely free to do so is to cut it.

 MC68060 to drive, the passion and feelings in common with like-minded myself and everyone is there, the cost is infinite as a practical matter "it is impossible" is. In the heartbreak is only to seek a new way to solve it is there.

Here's my custom FPGA Arcade case, made out of frosted acrylic and 1960's phenolic plastic:

My father-in-law got the 1960's phenolic from the back of his design studio, where a student had hauled in a huge sheet of it for a project a few decades ago.

The acrylic is new, just sandblasted lightly on one side to give it that frosted look.

Anyway, here's a quick reference to the schematic - Replay 1.02 RevB:
