    If you have any interest in the FPGAArcade Replay board, check out these answers to my questions about the newly released pictures of a daughter card w/68060 for the Replay board.

    Oh, that makes the Replay board much more attractive. Ever get an answer about the '060 clock speed?

    Yes, I did get answers to all my questions. Check out the thread now.

    The 060 that Jakub is using will be at or above 100MHz, due the revision 6 chip he is using.

    I am not sure what revision 68060RC50 I have, so I don't know if mine will overclock that high without instability problems and over heating.

    MikeJ confirmed that the daughter card will be available without the 68060 installed, so you can solder your own 060 to the board. (or install an 060 socket, so you can swap 060 chips in the future)

    That is so cool. I just purchased a 68060 socket on Ebay recently. I didn't have a use for it, but it was cheap. I can also get RC50s at a low price so I might as well get one.
    I'm going to have to inquire about the total cost of the Replay board with this daughter card.
    Looks like a great way of obtaining a new high performance Amiga.

    The prices quoted for the Replay board are 220 euros with S-Video & Composite in addition to the DVI video out, and 200 euros without the S-Video and Composite outputs.

    There is no price for the daughter card yet, but MikeJ said that it would not be too expensive, so that is encouraging. Plus, he is selling, or will be selling the daughter card without the 060 included, so that will make it that much cheaper.

    A very interesting way to get a new Amiga clone that has good performance and ports, plus it is designed to run lots of other Arcade soft cores to emulate many Arcade machines from the past.
