Bubsy, probably best to post that in AmiOracle (or a mod can move it so it can be a proper support thread.)
I was advised to make an extra spacer socket from pin strips to go between the two board but I've not got to the point of testing mine yet although it's fully assembled.

Hello
What type of 060 EC LC FULL are you using and can you send some Speed tests. Also to Fitzsteve guess what im going to try this on when my package Comes Lol. Still got the Sonnet.

Are you think to run a 100mhz 060 then
I think the Freescale Rev6 should be able to do this!
I'm using an MC68060RC50 rev6 mask 71E41J, the newer one that doesn't even need a heatsink to run stable at 50MHz.
Keep in mind that there's unneeded wait-states added to the fast RAM access because of the A3640 logics, but in the future I want to try to fix that with SpeedGeek's amazing work.
Too bad about the 16MB RAM limit on the A4000D motherboard!
EDIT: I use phase5's latest 68060 library from 2001. The system runs incredibly slow if you don't install a 68060 library and a 68040.library dummy/redirect!
Here's a sysinfo pic:
2.05 times faster than an A4000D with a normal A3640.
And probably more mips if I hack the A3640 state machine logic!

I'd like to order one of these if they are still available. If not i'd be interested in negotiating for the gerber file / bill of parts list.
If all the parts are sold and will not be made again please ask to close the thread.

Ya' Like it Retr0?

Its good to see you on here fella! =)
I should point out that Sysinfo doesn't take advantage (or test) the dual pipeline configuration (super scalar) of the 060 as such doesn't use the ALU effectively, in fact about half the speed - the 060@50 should chip in about 65 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second)

Glad to see you got it working, did you simply follow the provided instructions to assemble it, or did you piece together difference sources of information?

If you use a “full” 68060 (with FPU) you need a patched exec, i.e. burn your own custom kickstart. And you do want a full 68060.
If you use a 68LC060 or 68EC060 (no FPU) you don't need a custom kickstart rom, but the lack of FPU will hurt. There are programs that simply assume that a FPU is available if a 68060 is found and starts issuing FPU instructions, which will cause the Amiga to crash.

Hi yes thats the plan ive got 2 cpu both full Versions one xc68060 and one freescale rev6, but before i go mad Need to source the gals for Speed geeks Speed mod sob they are hard to find with the Speed he recommends. so wont be able to go the full
monty with the sonnet sob. But im going to have fun trying.
Thanks 8bitbusby for your info at the momment the mips of the adaptor are about 2 higher then the sonnet but the Mflops are twice as fast, I Know my A3640 Standard Version goes to 33mhz so thats about 66mhz for the 060 so that should give a extra Mips i Just hope stable. just Need the Adapter everything is here.
Thanks

I asked some people about stuff, e.g. how the voltage regulator in this kit is too thick for regular installation. Either you solder it outside of the board like I did (not a good idea), or you get another 040 socket and a pin spacer to make room for the voltage regulator.
I didn't understand the included installation manual 100%, so I had to guess sometimes. You need to be a bit creative and patient, this is definitely not an assembly for beginners.
