68040 cpu needed (more)

Greetings, fellow denizens of Dumpsterland... ;) On Thursday 07 December 2000 00:47, you wrote: Your LC575 was originally built with a 33MHz 68LC040, which is the low-cost fpu-less version of the chip. It could be replaced with either a 68040 or 68LC040 part, with the full '040 having better performance in some situations. The *significant* advantage (IMO) to using the full '040, is that it enables the machine to run either Linux or NetBSD. Interestingly enough, the 25MHz part seems to be totally capable of overclocking to 33MHz, and with a heatsink, will run cooler at 33MHz than bare at 25Mhz. There is interesting info on overclocking the 68040 on the LC475, Performa 475 and Quadra 605 models at: http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~schrier/475s.html -and- http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~schrier/q605.html I'm planning to do the 'switch' mod described in the former URL. If you need a 25MHz 68LC040 to replace yours, I should have a spare available in about a week... after I'm done upgrading my LC475 so I can load Debian m68k :) -- Bill Layer <b.layer(a)vikingelectronics.com>
