A3000, A3640, 060 adapter and internal FPU

[Iggy]

You can use on the adapter a full 060, but you need a modified kickstart ROM with Exec.library.

I think Cosmos can help you with it.

Thank you (and Thomas) for the education.
The owner of the company I used to work for that built 68K based systems died as we were readying a 68030 model.

The jump from the '020-'030 cpus to the '040-'060 cpus is pretty complicated.

I'd already seen beta copies of Win 3.0 (from IBM) before we closed shop, so I felt kind of doomed anyway.

Nothing like realizing that market domination was going to result in an inferior system becoming the standard.

Look, I asked in this very forum who would be interested in buying such a kickstart, and all I received was "we want it for free" and "go home."

So what exactly do you expect to happen?

You should stop asking things like that on the forums.  There are always people who bitch and complain.

Identify a product you think will sell and do it.  Have confidence in your ideas, and if they are good people will buy.

Updated kickstarts would be fantastic, I tend to think if we could get updated AROS kickstarts for getting AROS 68k on our classic machines would be great as well.

I sadly lost my Cyberstorm MK1 in a puff of nasty fumes, but I now have my 68060 installed in an adapter like the OP does.  I got some custom roms so it'll work right, though last time I tried to get picasso96 and my mediator to work, it decided to give me ramlib errors (if I recall).  So I haven't gotten my Amiga in working order since  Though this is mainly due to time constraints.

A new "official" kickstart could be a nice idea. If someday it sees the light and its priced right (no need to be free of course I would purchase it for sure.

As for now I've no real need of a full 060, I best prefer having a MMU than a FPU right now; but if I'm able to find a full one and thanks to the patched Cosmo's library (need to check it) I can try to get the full package.
Sadly I cannot get past the original 50Mhz, too slow fast ram zips :-P

I also had problems with the Mediator setup. Sometimes the 3640 card is very picky to get it together working.

I sold my Mediator 4000DI V1 and bought a Mediator 4000DI V3 and solve the problem.

My 3640 adapter has Speedgeek mod to remove the two wait states.

It makes your Amiga 4000 I/O as fast as the 3630.

I cannot remember anyone saying they want it _for_ free.

The 3.X kickstarts _are_ the new official kickstarts. Yeah, they have been buggy, but apparently they are working on it. There is nothing that prevents Cloanto from having a 060 friendly exec.library in there.

Also, interestingly enough - Cloanto is work towards open sourcing Amiga OS for 68k. You can hear Mike Battulana talk about it quite warmly in the 11th AmiCast podcast.
