>Are you SURE the 68060 is a 5.0V chip? I haven't actually seen the specs >from Motorola, but from everthing I have read on the nets indicated it >was a 3.3V design. The german 'MC' a Computer-Magazine for PCs Macs and other Computers wrote following: German: "Der jetzige Chip mit dem 68060 wird in einer 0,5 MikroMeter CMOS Technologie gefertig, wobei die traditionellen TTL-Pegel mit 5 Volt benutzt werden." English: "The actual chip with the 68060 is produced in a 0.5 micrometer CMOS technology, the traditional TTL-level with 5 Volt is used." Since I am not a Hardware Designer and not a translator for technical texts it is possible that I didnt understood the text correct and/or didnt translate the text correct. Maybe one of the other german speaking guyz in this forum could translate the german text again. Of course a 3.3V chip would be better, but the '060 has also some missing features which were first implemented in the '040. And again my worse translation: The divided supervisor-stackpointers the both T-Flags in the Status-Register the different Floating-Point commands and other little things are missing. The Magazine thinks it could be because of some minor designingproblems. But all other parts of the article show that this chip is really incredible, this CPU is REALLY FAST, and programs optimized for the 060 are even faster!!! cu Jochen Antesberger from Neuburg/Bavaria/Germany/Europe With ZyXEL 19200bps Power through da Lines(long before V.Terbo!)
