68040-68060 Adapter (for A3640/Warpengine) - COMPLETE KIT - 5TH BATCH (APRIL 2015)

UPGRADE YOUR AMIGA 68040 ACCELERATOR WITH A 68060 CPU


PRICE IS £28 EACH KIT(INCLUDES WORLDWIDE POSTAGE)
11/5/15 - I still have some kits in stock and ready to ship - 4 kits left

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7/5/15 - KITS HAVE SHIPPED
Attachment 87740
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This board allows you to add a 68060 CPU to a 68040 socket. AKA the amiga a3640 and the warpengine (and a few others am sure)

HOW THIS WORKS:
THE KIT ALLOWS YOU TO ADD AN 060 CPU TO A 040 SOCKET, THUS GETTING THE FASTER 060 PERFORMANCE.
YOU CAN USE ANY 060 CPU, HOWEVER DIFFERENT VERSIONS REQUIRE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ALTERATIONS, FOR THE EASIEST UPGRADE, USE AN 060 CPU WITHOU MMU/FPU, THEN YOULL ONLY NEED TO ADD 68060.LIBRARY TO YOUR WORKBENCH SETUP. IF YOU USE A FULL 060 THEN YOULL HAVE TO MODIFY YOUR KICKSTART ROM.

Anyone who has looked into this will know that a few of the components are either very hard to source or very expensive.

Interested! PM later ...

Interested in Qty=1 of 68040 to 68060 adapter PCB .....

Interested in 1 pcs pm later

PM out ...

Declaring interest. Pm will follow.ii

one small question , it is work with A3640 rev 3.1 ? or need to work rev 3.2 ?

3.1 is fine

ok grand :-)

Declaring interest. :)

Pm replied to holzroller, bcmdesign, delling and amike

can I use this adapter with 68LC060 MMU ? i know FPU doesnt work but
i need MMU for Maprom , if not I have too buy kickstart 3.1 for my A4k

You can use any 060, but if you use FPU/MMU then you need to modify your 3.1 kickstart which will require a eprom burner and EPROMs. Easiest way would be to use an EC version

Interested in two. PM to follow.

Payment sent. Thanks!

Magic, you paid me £2 too much, i can refund you the £2 or send you a little freebie with this kit, Let me know :-)

I have a 060 kicking about in a drawer, so declaring interest in 1 adapter.

btw, the instructions say 7x100uF capacitor - shouldn't that be 100nF?

Yes your right

the picture is of old instructions, I have long updated them, so what you receive will be correct. Just me being lazy and not taking a new picture. Newer instructions and guide is also a lot more thorough

@Pghulme
Freebie it is :bounceBoingBall:

PM sent (1 unit).

Is there anyone that can assemble it and modify a warp engine for me? I'm in Afghanistan and can't work on this stuff right now but would love some help if someone out there can help me.

Hello,

I've been reading several of these lengthy 68040-to-68060-adapters threads the last few months, and I would find it great if someone could create a specific thread for feedbacks and benchmarking of these adapters.

Being aware of the relative complexity of assembling and using these kits, it would be very interesting if people involved in these modifications would participate to this thread to share their experience building them.
Indeed, many variables are to be taken into account :

- there are several variations/revisions of these kits
- Different cards can be targeted: A3640, WarpEngine....
- depending on one's willingness to go down the rabbit hole, one can choose the path of "full 060/3.9-eprom-burning" or the simpler "MMU/FPU emasculed 060" with possible system crashs.

And I personnaly found difficult to browse the various "040-to-060" related threads to try and find (few) relevant info about how people attempts turned out.
Besides, these threads are obviously trade related, so I feel a feedback thread would be complementary and, to my opinion, useful for those who are considering this dramatic alteration of their hardware (me included), but still hesitate.

Waiting for your opinion on this topic ;-)
Thomas.

Please feel free to PM me with any of your questions, am sure i can help you out with any queries or concerns

I will be ordering the parts for these kits in a week, so if anyone still wants a kit there are still some available

Interested!

Interest withdrawn.

i decided to just stick to the 040@40mhz as my soldering skills are not good enough to risk a wrong assembled board.

Declare interest of 2..

Paypent sent

Declaring interest for one. Sending PM.

Recieved payment from chucky and reborn


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

there are still spaces on this pre-order, if youd like a kit this is the last week that they will be available, as am ordering parts on sunday. Then am going to have to retire from the amiga business :(.

kits still available for pre-order, last week this week

"Then am going to have to retire from the amiga business :-(."


why

lol figure of speech
But I have two very young babies and finding time nowadays to do any hobbies as well as work too difficult, plus there has to be a point where I have to say "I've collected too much stuff!!!"

am am just finding less and less time to do this sort of stuff :-(

@Pghulme: Haha, I've been there mate.

But don't loose hope, and hang on to your stuff still, because there will be a time, a couple years down the road, when you'll be emerging again to the world and find you can have a bit of a hobby again.

If you get rid of your stuff in between, you'll be sorry later.
But what might happen also is that you may have to surrender space from your "man cave", to accommodate for the kids' needs (namely, bedrooms).
And strangely enough, I find women on average are relatively unsympathetic to a man's plea for hobby space, when it comes to babies...
I mean, babies are small enough to fit in a drawer for some time, they don't need need as much space as, say an Amiga 2000, so come on !!!

Sorry for the off-topic, you started it ;-)

I don't plan on selling my stuff just yet. Just trying to let people know that after this week I wont be able to do anymore kits. Normally after I finish a batch I get a lot of people asking for them, but this time am not going to be able to do anymore than are ordered. So kind of a last chance now if anyone wants to order a kit.
