A3000 & Cyberstorm
« on: February 10, 2010, 08:08:55 PM »
Hi :)

I have a Cyberstorm with 68040, can I change the CPU with a 68060 (if I find one with a good price)?

Yes, not too hard to do with a little soldering experience.

If I'm not mistaken it's tricky to do this upgrade, you need to reflash the cards firmwarewith the correct firmware.
The 68040 and 68060 cards have different firmware.
I sent a 68040 CS MKII to PG, the guy who did all those excellent BPPC and Apollo '060 upgrades...he failed upgrading my card...it never booted with a 68060 CPU on it..after doing some googling we found out it needed a special firmware which can't be found anymore :(

It seems to be a little bit too hard for me, and too dangerous...
I will think about it.

I found 2 memory modules installed on a socket 7 mother board;
they seems the same kind that are installed on my Cyberstorm.
The only thing I see is:
TM 5432E2-60
Si-Die 4196 TI
Someone know if I can install them into the board???

Sounds risky in that case. :/ Maybe later manufactured '040 cards came with a firmware compatible with both processors. I suppose you could make an educated case as to whether or not it would work, if you compared your card's serial number with someone who has successfully made the upgrade.

The modules are working con Cyberstom, 16MB x 2 = 32 MB, not bad and for free! :laughing:
