68EC060 to be placed on a Blizzard ? Good idea or not ???

[amigakit]

Still got some 71E41J MC versions left plus some 66Mhz and 75Mhz 68060s (EC).

I´m playing with the idea of having an 68040 on one of my Blizzard 1240´s to be replaced by a fast 68EC060, meaning an 68060/66 or 68060/75 without fpu and mmu. Good idea or not ?

Hmmm... I guess not.
Dude - photo editor - cut down those pics :-).  I'm on broadband at the mo, but I wouldn'e have bothered waiting for the pics to load if I was on dial-up.

Boot_WB : I used the original pictures of my camera as I don´t really expect Amiga users to buy it as I am strongly advised to sell it again. But to make you feel happier, I just removed one close up picture from the auction. I used to upload my pictures to the Canon website but using the pictures on that site too often results in no pictures at all so I dropped that option. Using Ebay´s option to add pictures costs too much as they charge extra for every picture I use, so I use the pictures I store on my own webspace instead ...

Whoa, good luck selling it for that price. I have seen full 68060 going for less (actually bought my for 39 EUR "buy now" from some guy that was selling some of them quite often on ebay germany)

As for the EC version I tried - ran most things perfectly well, but anything compiled for 060 was an instant crash - including Ibrowse060 and (iirc) PPaint.

Ibrowse060 ??

bad idea you should look at 68070 cpus

they were used in philips cdi's

 :lol:

@Effy dont forget to change the voltage when you change cpu.. or boom :-o  a :madashell: burnt card\cpu

Ibrowse060 ??

ie when installing Ibrowse 2.3 selecting the cpu option for 68060 - it requires the presence of the FPU otherwise freezes on - well pretty much anything really.

@Effy - No offence intended: it seemes rather a large picture for such a small cpu - easier for all just to load it into (assuming you use a windoze pc) photoeditor (or some such program) and reduce it in size - quicker to upload, quicker to download, quicker to see it's a late EC variant with no chance of being a full version  mis-labelled as an EC and move on to some further ebaying.
I think I have the exact same mask CPU somewhere...

utri007 : about that obscure 68070, this is what I just found : "The 68070 was a Philips-branded 68000-based Microcontroller with built in DMA controller, minimal MMU, i2c bus controller and other enhancements. It was used in the CD-i. Despite the name, this chip was not part of the Motorola 680x0 series - Motorola never produced a 68070."

BOOT_WB : okay then, just removed the big picture and added a close up. To me it looks to small as I always prefer big pictures with as much detail as possible. THIS is the auction now but if it gets sold then I expect it to be an Atari user  :lol:

adonay : don´t worry, I know about the voltage issue but I shall have somebody else do the job, somebody qualified  :-)

let's hope that HE knows too :-)
