An easy upgrade to the 040 might be this solution: http://www.emulation.com/catalog/off-the-shelf_solutions/production-test_adapters/upgrade_motorola/


Goood.
And it's so cheap! The best part is it doesn't even have a CPU.

A better price might be negotiated.
Especially if a quantity were ordered.
If you could get it down to $400, I'd buy one.
'60 boards are becoming rare.

Evidently so are the 68060s.  We need an FPGA wiz.

Have to laugh when people say that 060's are getting rare. Just on Amibay alone I've seen an increase in 060's for sale.

In the last few months I've seen at least 7 Apollo 060's @ 80MHz come up for sale. (they seem to be around 350 euro mark.)

I was watching these for awhile as I wanted one, and picked up Nova's although I need to get the other SIMM socket soldered on :-/

There's even a couple filtering through to Ebay although the ones on there are twice the price they should be.

There's always CPU's on there own being listed and if there isn't people seem to find them when asked for.

To me there's been an increase in these cards showing up.

There's a few older devices with them in, i.e. network devices/switches.. just a matter of googling a couple of models and sometimes you can get lucky.

It wouldn't be too difficult to build something like that. It's really not that complicated.

Just seen a 50MHz one with a Buy It now price of EUR663, the seller is having a laugh!

Quoting myself now ;)

On http://www.a1k.org is a person who built a custom adapter for a few euros and it seem to work (needs a small modification to the ROM). Speed is twice as high as the normal A3640. Here is the link:
http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37900
including the documentation for the adapter.

663 euros? LOL, they must be. Although there will be someone out there that would probably buy at that price.

If only people googled stuff more :-/
