Uh oh. I've now had the idea of building a second #BFG9060 for this machine... Stop me someone!! 😂

Well, the #BFG9060 I built this last week is still going strong after much use, so things are indeed looking good! I'm most amazed that the memory worked first time, has passed multiple full test runs.

Here is the result of SysInfo now the 68060 MMU libs are installed. The #Amiga 4000 as it should be 😎

Obligatory Frontier Elite 2 intro test 😬

Well looky here! 🥳😎

I didn't realize it would respect the existing 16MB as well! Also this is just my 060 lite from the TF1260 right now, still waiting on the full fat version to arrive.

Much as I'd love to pretend this worked first time, it turned out I had a dodgy solder joint on a single pin of the bigger CPLD. But once I found and fixed that, *then* it worked! 🤣

Won't assume it's reliable just yet though. Also not put the 060 stuff on the 4000 yet so benchmarks later.

Memory buffers added. I'm taking this slowly, can't test the memory until the 060 arrives anyway. But the new microscope plus improving drag soldering technique seems to be working out well so far.

Holy someone or something!! It only frikkin worked first time!! 😱😱😱

Both CPLDs, updated and verified correctly on the first go for the #BFG9060 !!

This is all the more amazing because I was *convinced* I'd burnt the larger one during removal after the solder paste disaster.

Time will tell if it stays this way of course but... Wow.

And so it begins...

Freshly arrived parts. I think this is everything, bar the 060 (which is also on its way 😎 )

So today is finally the day! I will pickup my BFG9060 (with 040 CPU tho...) and make an easy attempt in the afternoon to install it in my #Amiga 3000D. Dont worry, I'll let you know how fantastic that card is going to be! ❤️

So, read you later then! 😋
