As you probably know by now I use an 060 Amiga everyday, and incompatibilities are virtually non existent on my set up. To be honest the the only problems I've ever had were with some WHDLoad slave files hence the reason I wrote my own to solve these problems... :)

An 060 on your A1200 just can't be be beaten and make things like Final Writer, Pagstream, PPaint & ImageFX work like a dream... :)

well, a lot of my games are HD installed, though I suppose I can always check out WHDload as well :)
 
Thanks guys! Very reassuring
 
A follow up question if you dont mind: I've heard that the 060 is generally okay in a 1200 wedge case. Should I concerned about heat issues?


It can get pretty hot but nowhere near as hot as an 040, two simple solutions to keep it safe if you choose to do this are...

1. apply a small 6mm thick fan directly to the cpu (with a small 2mm gap between the cpu and fan to allow for air circulation... :)

2. Shape a heatsink that you can fit directly to the CPU but will also make contact with the metal base of the A1200s keyboard to dissipate heat very quickly... :)

I have tried both these methods with an overclocked Blizzard 060 @ 60Mhz and never had any heat related problems... :)
