A few months ago I realized that although Amiga and Atari Falcon have had 060 accelerator cards made for them in the past, no mac or accelerator card for one has used the 68060 chip. This was probably due to the jump to Power PC and all, but can you imagine how awesome your 020 or 030 based mac would be with a Daystar Turbo 060 card inside it? System 6 would scream and run circles around even the fastest win or mactels, OS 8 would run at near PPC speeds, and games that had slowdown on even the fastest of 040 machines would perform like a dream. And to sweeten the deal, it would come with an onboard Kickstart 3.1 rom and 10MB of flash memory to access the Amiga world. It would be compatible with: Macintosh II, Macintosh LC, SE/30, Classic II, all Performa and Centris/Quadra models, Macintosh TV, all LCs, IIx IIci, IIsi, IIvx, Color Classic, basically everything with an 020 and up. So, how does the prospect of this sound? Anyone willing to make this card?
