Subject:My 060 problems solved... (maybe) :-(((

Argh :-/

Well after ages of trying to track my problems down, I think I have finally
reached the final final conclusion that it appears to be my Apollo 060
board! (sob sob) I bought it at the end of last Nov from Eyetech and they
fixed a extra Simm socket onto the thing for me...

anyway, I mentioned a revision number for my 060 before:

XC68<looks like 2 letters 'scratched' off>060RC60

then I was told that the scratched of letters would be either EC or LC so I
checked that the FPU and MMU where there, which they are <phew!>

After that I was chatting to someone else via ICQ and they said that in the
following line: (from identify.library 'ListEXP' program)

CPU: 68060/66 MHz (Rev 1), FPU=68060/66 MHz, MMU=68060
^^^^^
instead of Rev 1, they had Rev 5.

Now this got me thinking (ouch), so I talked to another couple of people and
one of them also had a Apollo060@66Mhz and he happened to mention that his
revision on his 060 chip had a 'A' on the end of it and then I remembered
that the later 060 chips (with fpu and mmu) capable of doing 66Mhz (and
higher) had the 'A' on the end of the chip revision (i think?).

Can someone confirm to me that thier Apollo060/66Mhz has the 'A' on the end
of the revision or a different revision number? PLEASE

Cheerio (dissapointed)
