The 68060 EC doesn't have an FPU, does it?

[TheMagicM]

thats what I thought.. 060EC was no MMU or FPU

[Karlos]

@TheMagicM

That might explain why it wasn't working ;-)

[Karlos]

Actually, thinking about it I have a dim memory that some 68060s were sold as EC parts if their FPU or MMU failed at the clock rate they were aiming for. I could be wrong mind.

the XC68EC060RC60 has a FPU & MMU..but im not sure if its working correctly

sometimes when i load quake I, it comes up with a fault ( not always)..

i thing the pins are not making proper contact with the socket as im get a the same fault with MC68060RC66E..

@delshay:

Ever considered the possibility that it might be a software-only issue? ;=)

the XC68EC06RC60 has a MMU & FPU

its **not** software for the MC68060RC66E..ive got two..
im useing one to type this works fine with quake..

the other i have to move around the socket ( ie ) i cant push it all the way in the socket,if i do the machine will not even boot..

put the chip half way in & it boots fine..but quake shows fault the same applys to the XC68EC060RC60..( CORRECTION ) diffrent fault for both processors..

iv not got them plug-in at the moment..

the MC68060RC66 processor came back with something like ( reach the end of something..& quake crashed.
