Considering that ACA cards has same desing flaws than Apollo cards has, need for timing fixes, etc, I wouldn't be surpireced if ACA cars are actually Apollo cards. Jens however bought that desings years ago.

68030 is not a fast, it is bog slow. Anything below 68040 is painfull to use.

Most of 68040/60 targeted apps and games uses heavily FPU. Making 68040/60 accelerator without FPU is pointless.

The big part of the demos, games works well with the 68030/50 card without FPU.
What can you do with the 68060/50 card (with FPU), which you cannot make with the 68030/50 card?


With 68040 every 3D game, execpt quake is runs fast enough to be fun. Tinkering with OS is nice, when it is fast as flash no mattter what to do, icons, backdrop, patches, etc. Many apps has FPU support, making them much faster. With FBlit is possible to get smooth 640x512 resolution scrolling with apps and games.

The performance is not proportional to the sysinfo dhrystones directly.
B1230/50 9000 dhrystones, B1260 37000 dhrystones. The B1260 NOT 4× stronger, than B1230!

 You are right Sysinfo doesn't tell true, 68060 is 8x stronger than 68030 50mhz.

Price is one thing, I wouldn't comment anyones asked price.

Another thing is that he said that 68060 is not 4x faster, it is much less. That made some comments here.
