Cyberstorm mk1 68040 upgrade to 68060
« on: November 27, 2007, 02:19:07 PM »
Has anybody had any succes in upgrading the 68040 to 68060 by modifying/soldering the processor board?

In theory this should work.

Another ROM is needed to handle the 68060. Why is there no ROM dump file available anywhere so you can flash your own and use that? That's a bit weird isn't it.

Then the voltage must be reduced to 3.3V. I guess this must be done on the processor board because if you have to do that on the base board the modular design would have been negated.

Or does this not work because the processor board has a design flaw that makes upgrading it impossible.

Could somebody please make some detailed pictures of the CPU module? I can see I need to add and change some components below the processor next to the connector.
