Very interesting video Jan, as I also have a TF1260 (with LC060 though), which came with my Amiga. And I also have this transparent case... with the same issues you ran into some years ago (Floppy not quite fitting, same with PCMCIA slot, transparent Eject button for another Floppy drive model etc.)! 😉 25:28 I ran into some trouble installing the libs. The actual installing (system, update 3.2.1 and MMU libs done in WinUAE directly from CD) worked flawlessly. But Sysinfo 4.4 (and older) gives a message right at the beginning, that deals about the 68040 library which shouldn't run to make Sysinfo work properly (or something like that). I have to rename 68040.library so it won't boot with the Amiga and the message was gone. Do you have the 68040.library file in your libs folder after installing?

Good stuff as usual.

Motorola and ABB automation systems also use/have used 68k processors extensively. I don't know if the 060 has been very popular but at least 040s are pretty common. Might be different version not compatible with Amiga cards though.

You of course watched my videos for this and were motivated to give it a go. :)

I don't know if you care(or if it would work) but that compact flash card adapter you have does have an LED, maybe you could connect that to the hard disk LED on the Amiga?

Get an all-copper low-profile heatsink on the chip. Mix JB Weld. Finger dab very light coat on both surfaces. Join them under slightly warm water, to ensure no air is trapped between them. Lift from bath and allow to cure for at least 24 hours. Install as normal. If you can engrave chip info on side of heatsink, do so. You won't be able to remove it later, but you'll always have cool processor.

I'm seriously tempted to just attempt to make a couple of these. I *could* - it's just that there's a tiny little problem: I don't have an A1200 nor anyone I know does.

71E41J mask 060s can regularly eat up to 100 MHz when properly *actively* cooled and still be stable. On Atari Falcons with CT60 accelerators they usually run fine at 90 or 100 MHz, 90 being the speed of choice, when you got a CPU that isn't fully stable at 100. Active cooling, in that case, means a flat heat sink with a small fan on top, nothing extreme. If you can find a suitable cooling solution that fits under the keys, it may be worth while, doubling the clock speed...

True that. My Falcon runs at 95 Mhz and it's stable hours on end, with a CT60e + active cooling, my Amiga 1200 has a Warp1260 at 105Mhz (and stable, with active cooling), and my other Amiga 1200 with the TF1260 handles 95Mhz demo-watching runs like a champ. That has no active cooling yet, so I didn't want to push it beyond 64Mhz on longer-runs. All Rev.6, of course.

Hi retro folks, is there a way to emulate a cf Card, so that a device (like an amiga) thinks it is running directly from a drive but in reality the drive is just a piece of the ram of an raspberry pi or something like that

Your system was running into a Guru at the first attempt, because the 68060.library wasn't loaded. The Motorola 68060 doesn't support some 68020 instructions, specifically the "long" (64bit) multiply/division instructions which are used by Workbench and various parts of the A1200 ROM. These are software emulated after the 68060.library is loaded. So without it, the system would Guru. This is normal behavior on all 68060 accelerators. TL;DR: install the 68060.library first, then install the accelerator itself. This is entirely safe. The 68060.library won't load when that CPU isn't present, and the system would keep functioning normally anyway with any CPU.

And most code should run just fine.

Killer Grounds should test 060, TFX too

Hi I've had my Terrible Fire for a year now with using the hard drive interface and 3.2 Roms. Although I did not get the driver in the Rom so it takes a while to boot. Get the driver in your Roms would be quicker. I have recently had an issue that I hope you can help with since you assembled one. I disconnected the card and the reconnected it recently and now the Amiga thinks it is dead. Is the connector a bit tricky? It has a hard time since I purchased it. Once it's gong it's great but now I have 1MB memory since the Amiga 1200 runs without it now. It was sold to me by Retro32 and they have yet to reply.

Yup, the connectors can act up at times, it's quite a common problem. I would suggest trying to clean it thoroughly (a pencil eraser/rubber and some alcohol usually does it good job of that for me, you can also finish off with some non-corrosive contact cleaner after that). The TF1260 and the CPUs are generally pretty reliable as far as I've seen/heard.

@@JanBeta Thanks, but I think I have the misfortune of acquiring a non-offficial board (no logo) and may have non standard cheap parts onboard. I did the cleaning except the non-corrosive contact cleaner. What is that?

Jan I love the work safe sign in the background but there is now way that any company has ever worked the number of days that are on that sign safely and without any loss of time or production. Based on simple maths the original time worked was over 204 years and the current number of days is well over 203 years.

I already promised the second chip to a friend at this point, sorry. I'll let you know if they don't want it (it's going to take me a while to properly test it anyway). Also, thanks for working on Amiga Future, absolutely love it! :)

There is a known issue with 68060 and current version of sysinfo.

Yep, SysInfo is acting up a bit with several setups. I think the results I got in the end looked reasonable though (except for the fact that it wasn’t able to see the clock speed at all). :

the XC is rev1 (maybe 5) . the MC is rev6 6 can be clocked to 100MHz. the others not. (1, 5 and 6 are full 060s with FPU and MMU)

With the appropriate drivers installed on the Amiga, you should be able to just connect them via the IDE port on the TF card or the internal IDE on the Amiga. Both should work fine and be more or less plug and play.

Temperature of 68060? I removed Phase 5 accelerator card from A1200 because it tried to melt plastic inside with its hot Motorola CPU. remember, there is no cooling - no cooler, no fans, no airflow.

wann kommt part2? ;)

Please some 060 late games and apps test compared to 040

So MHz to MHz the 68040 is just as fast as the 68060.The 50MHz 68060 is only twice as fast as a 25MHz 68040. What's going on here, SYSINFO shows the 68060 as 2.05 times as fast as a 68040 A4000.

I noticed that as well. It's a little surprising there's not a greater boost in speed, since the 060 is a superscaler architecture similar to the Pentium. Maybe there's a good reason Motorola abandoned the 060 in favor of the PPC architecture? I'm just not familiar enough with the Motorola chips to know why this benchmark doesn't show greater improvement.

The 68060s don’t really need a cooler unless you overclock them. Mine gets lukewarm at most. Quite different from previous 680xx generations. The CPLDs on the card run WAY hotter.

It's going to get to the point where a 68060 core on an FPGA will be cheaper than the actual CPUs. There is already an FPGA 68060 core for the $200 XC3S1600E FPGA, that device being sold for under $100 before this damned chip shortage.

I see 68060's on eBay from China for around 50 USD. Anyone tried these ? Fakes?

Those are generally the LC or even the lower version with no FPU or MMU. Avoid the one without the MMUm

@@10MARC Looking at them, they look like they're the 68LC060, which has an MMU but no FPU. I doubt much software takes advantage of the FPU, so I'm not sure why you'd want the one with the FPU for a few hundred bucks more.
