mine arrived safely a while back but I won't be able to test until I get the rom for the 060 upgrade. Nice build quality and looks like it won't be in the way of anything in my desktop 1200.

feedback left:thumbsup:
 
Linear regulator and no heatsink whatsoever doesn't seem like the best idea...

But I guess that depends on how much current the accelerator needs?

Hello,

your question is right! But, this regulator has a wide range about the voltage and a conversion from 5v to 3.3v give not much heat. Only the CPU is feeded with 3.3v, the card is feeded from the motherboard.

:oops: ... at the moment i can't industrial PCB, but the quality is better day by day...
 
Interested in one please. Changing the voltage is just a matter of moving a jumper, right?
 
Money sent

Thx

Hello,

i have made a different solution (to be honest, a jumper solution was not in my mind): you need to desolder a couple of resistor and solder other one. There is a page of instruction sent with the card, that explain all the possible combinations. All the resistors needed are in the package.

Hello,

if you are interested, please confirm it on PM.

Unfortunately, i won't be able to solder/desolder myself anything, so i'm not interested anymore, sorry.
If you can make a revision with jumpers to select voltage, i would certainly buy one or two.
Thanks.
 
Hello,

here a picture of this device: the withe connector is a standard molex connector with this input (from left to right)

+5v Ground Ground +12

ok, thanks Stefano, I'll do some testing later tomorrow and let you know...fingers crossed my 060 is still ok.

Hello,

i have tested many times this add-on and there is no problem. The only issue can be the needed of ampere to power the 68060: i have not tested it.
In theory, the ampere are enough.

If the 68060 is socketed, detach it from the card and test the voltage between VSS and VDD (ground and 3.3 volt).

Hello,

the part is ready and tested only attached to a common psu. It will be shipped with a set of resistor to obtain the three value of 3.3 - 3.6 and 3.9 volt (this last values are needed if you wish a 060 overclocked!).
More on PM.

Regards
Stefano
