I would not bother about mechanical compatibility with CS MKII. It's much easier (and better) just to convert CS MKII from 040 to real 060 unit.
 
Wait; let's hold on for a minute. While I appreciate your effort, please go with the revised boards, not the orginal.
The original do not fit well on for instance Cyberstorm cards!

this batch is with the original project that I linked in the first post. Next batch we can think to do the modded version that fit the Cyberstorm cards if people want it ...

And seeing you now have so much interest, I think you can get these boards made much cheaper!
Let's make this a team effort, anyone that knows a cheap manufacturer please rise!
Please let me know your thoughts on these two points...

If the number of ordered board rise up I can try to get a better price.

Also; anyone buying this, please be aware it is not a drop in replacement, you will need to do some hacking your system (bootstrap) for your machine to even boot!!

It's clearly stated in the first post. I think the need to mod the bootstrap is only if you don't use a 68EC060 processor. The 68EC060 doesn't have the FPU ... so you don't need to disable it at the boot with the mod you are talking about.
Please someone that have this adapter can confirm that ?

Anyway my proposal is only to provide the PCB for anyone that want to try to make this adapter. I assume that people reads the threads about this adapter and evaluate their technical capacity to realize it.

On cyberstorm mk2, this give the possibility to run the 060 cpu overcloaked and keep the scsi kit working....

Is it for any 040 board or only WarpEngine?

I am interested in 2 kits too please.
 
Good news !! Thanks to the good number of booked PCB sets (47 until now) I get a better price from the local factory. So I can reduce the price for the batch of 50 PCB sets (before was a batch of 10 PCB sets) to €20 for a set of two PCB (top board and bottom board) + €3 for shipping.
 
Interested in one kit or if available will take two. So interest in two if there are two in the batch available.
