FPGA Replay Board

[mikej]

Genuine MC68060RC50 with 41J mask work, others have bugs.

They are getting expensive. I am talking to a supplier here.
By the time we include shipping, handling and testing it will be around 60Euro + vat for the processor. (Worst case 70Euro I think) Is this a price people are willing to pay?

If I buy larger numbers I can get a better price.
Were there any XC68060RC50 with the same mask set? Are there any faster versions?
Re-labelling is a major problem here, so I am talking to a friend who runs a chip testing company here as well.

Not having to hunt it down myself is worth a bit extra. 70 euro doesn't sound bad to me. Especially if we'll ideally being able to order the daughterboard + CPU in one package and get it mounted and tested.

+1:banana: Mike put me down for a fpgarcade (on list already)+060+daughterboard!

60-70 Euros is ok for me (if a bit expensive, but it's not an el-cheapo 486 CPU, so I understand it's harder to get).

The right mask, I suppose, can be overclocked?

[espskog]

Don't know, can't see the beast under the heatsink - but you may be lucky.
This is the one you need : MC68060RC50 mask 71E41J rev6
I am talking to some suppliers in Shenzhen to see if I can get some + sockets + heatsinks.

Hi Mike. If I am still on your daughtherboard-list, can you include a 060 and a heatsink in the shipping if you get hold of some ?

Great news about the new core! You know we'd love to beta-test the core for you :-D

I'll have on at that price.  Please put me down for one (and the expansion board).

Same for me.

Put me down for an fpgarcade+060+daughterboard!

Mike,
 
I had emailed before about getting a FPGA.  Put me down for the daughter board/chip also.
 
Looks like Christmas is coming early this year...
 
thanks

About cores: Has anyone testet any other cores with the replay board which they use ? Like Atari, c64 or anything else (game-cores) ?

It would be cool to fill a SD card with lots of Cores from Arcade machines and then have a Core-Select menu at top-level for Easy Core selection to fire up Arcade games if one decides not to use the replay board primarily as an amiga.

Anyone ?

[RMK305]

That sounds like a fair price to me for the chip. Buying it all together instead of having to hunt down and outbid other people for individual parts is a big plus for me.

Is the real 060 CPU just a temporary solution?
Any hope that the softcore eventually be faster than the real cpu, or is that impossible?

Beside being able to plug a real 060 in the daughterboard, what other advantages are there?
I've read something about USB and Ethernet, is it impossible to get that without the daughterboard?

Since the daughterboard needs a cpu, I started poking around ebay for a  used 68060, but the prices are rather steep.. (~100USD). Then I found  this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nortel-Meridian-NT5D03FB-CP-Rlse-02-68060E-128MB-64F-Module-/320877034462

Anyone know if that cpu actually would be usable? A bit of googling  shows that it should be a proper 68060@50MHz, and at that price I bought  one. (still one available if you feel like possibly wasting money)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68060 shows that Nortel did use a 68060, but I'm not sure about that e at the end..

I've noticed 060's from comms equipment is nearly always the EC version. It should still work fine on the daughterboard though, although you might miss the FPU and MMU.

Put me down for an fpgarcade+060+daughterboard!

I had put in email about the fpgarcade a while back but i can't remember when.

I would also like to be put on the list for fpgarcade+060+daughterboard

I realize my 1200 will not last forever

thanks!

i cant remeber if jakub or mikej said but im sure they have stated there is a core to be built to use the daughterboard without cpu
