Something about catching Pokemons, and all of them... 😅 I was told full 68060 Rev.6 CPU prices are high, because they are extremely scarce. I don't know, they seem quite abundant to me. 🤪 👍

@chainq I had to go with a rev 0 (PC68060) but even that is quite a good chip. Can't help but drool over your collection though

@48kRAM @chainq Rev 0 m68060? Oooh! I bet you have some really interesting errata!

I have a Blizzard 1260 with a revision 1 and a Cyberstorm Mk III with a revision 6. Both have been compiling for ages.

How’d you get a Blizzard 1260 with a revision 6? Was it a late model, or was the ‘060 replaced?

I wish there was an A1200 accelerator with 512 megs. It’d help tremendously with llvm stuff :)

@AnachronistJohn @48kRAM This particular Blizzard 1260 originally had a Rev 1 and was replaced with a Rev 6 by John "Chucky" Hertell of DiagROM/ReAmiga fame on my request, so we can clock it higher (72Mhz), as it was intended to serve in the Revision compo-Amiga. Which it did for a couple of years, before my Warp1260 and other accelerators supporting even higher speeds took over.

I also have a relatively late DCE-made B1260, that also sports a Rev.1. Not sure they made any with Rev 5 or 6.

@AnachronistJohn @chainq @48kRAM The mask revision was the same as the Rev 1, I think. I'm guessing it was just marked PC until enough early-adopters were happy with it then they said "Okay - ship it!" and marked it XC or whatever that first rev was marked.
