I think we can count the 68060 as pretty much a dead end in terms of sourceing new/ SH parts...

I would suggest you look into Oli's Coldfire boards, I'm sure they will be at least as fast as the 060 if he gets them working.

Motorola still makes the 68060, in fact it is one of the highest-selling chips in Mot's lineup.  Speeds availible at up to 120Mhz if they've met their roadmap.

 . . .yes cheap if you want to buy 1000 pcs.

If you need 1 pcs, you must buy it from Amiga.fr for 186 EUR :-( HERE

Ciao

PS- the ones of vernalelm company at 85 USD are crap.

Hi Blodline

in the last months, i've done a lot of searches about the 68060 CPUs, because one of the previous BS of Dellert, was that they can't complete the new CSPPC, due the 68060 CPU lacks.

Then in the last few weeks, he has changed the exscuses to those "custom CPU socket".

I'm courious to know, the next :-) . .  .sad person!!!

Ciao

An 060 at 120mhz ???!!  With FPU? That would be fast, the 060 is CISC and does the equivalent of various RISC instructions in one cicle, at least I'm told, in general.
A board with one of those would be very cooll.

But I bet it didn't happen.

I'm gonna check Mot. site....

No way! Still 66mhz only with FPU.

@Downix:

They do make the 68060, sure, but one of the highest-selling chips? Not really. Motorola haven't had a roadmap for the original 68k line in absolutely years. They certainly did not specify at any time (other than wild conjecture) that it would go higher, and concentrated on the Coldfire V4 instead.

Top speed on a 68060 is 75MHz, is staying there since the product reached maturity a long time ago, and that is very, very expensive if you have the FPU-enabled version (if it even exists - their product line-ups are slightly misleading)

Just for everybody's reference..

A V5 Coldfire ($23 in 1000s) is twice as fast (literally, not in MHz) and 4 times less expensive..

An EC model 68060 running at 50MHz is $83 in 1000s.

$178 or $220 for the 66/75MHz versions..

Add upwards of $150 for an FPU and MMU..

And remember, that's in QUANTITIES OF 1000!

If you want to buy one, there are plenty of resellers who will sell you a 50MHz 68060 chip, in single quantities, for around $200 or so at the very most.

Yep! Motorola runs a batch or two of those whenever people run out of spareparts.
It's a nice CPU, but it's old, and no longer developed.
