[mech]

Hello everyone,

i Don't post much here being a amiga user mainly(and having a A8 with MG mio) but i wanted to warn all the communities that can use the 68060 chips about some fakes on ebay. I originally bought 40 chips of seller I.V.TAN that appeared to be real,but were not.

 

 

Fake 68060 71e41J cpu's on ebay

Anyone considering buying the 68060 chips from seller I.V.TAN on ebay don't bother. I won all of them (40) originally and they are fake. WhichAmiga reports them as rev4 LC chips. sent the info back to him with the chips and got a refund. He aparently does not deem it necessary to tell people they are fakes.. they are listed for scrap gold now,so i doubt you will get a refund if you buy them with intentions of using them in accelerators.

Just trying to let everyone know so they are not in for disappointment.

Thanks for the heads up. So, they are 68060s but without the FPU? [like a 386sx on the Intel side?]. Are they usable in conjunction with a 68882?

Well because the 68040/060 had the fpu internal, i dont know of any boards that allow a 68882 to be fitted,so i would have to say no. It would also be quite slower having a external FPU(which is why motorola put them inside and improved them). In theory it could be done i guess but would be much work for little gain. Motorola made 3 chips version which were:

EC which is a embedded controller missing FPU and MMU

LC which was missing the FPU but with working MMU (mac's used 68040 LC's)

XC not a fully qualified part

RC which is a full chip with MMU and FPU (fully qualified)

 

There were of course FE and RP packages denoting plastc package etc.
