Reproduction PPC/060 Developer board?

Is logic information available that could be used to reproduce something like the Phase5 PPC/060 developer board? A plug-in daughter board like this would be great for expanding current 060 boards to PPC and being able to run OS4 on more classic Amigas. Better than just updating 040 cards to 060s.

And why would you. I think a hybrid 680x0/ARM has more potential, see A314 & ZZ9000.

Software library for ARM is close to zero. That being said.... I think most stuff can be recompiled. I have a zz9000 myself, but not the time.

I'm wondering what we will be able to see in the future, using existing ARM native stuff. I'm not waiting for yet another Doom/Quake port....

To further derail the derail, while it's not the PPC/060 Development board, we do have full PCI board designs for a PowerPC PCI board, BOM, Schematics all that. Which seems like the way to go so it has fast PCI access to a PCI graphics card.

Why? Plug-in replacement for existing PPC cards with bad/unrepairable PPC side. Upgrades for 040/060 only cards in classic Amigas. Drop one in a DraCo.

Long wait for A3000/A4000s that want something like a Vampire.

PCI is only good if you have a PCI bus to put it in. Can you piggy back anything other than a CVPPC on the CSPPC PCI?

I was referring to the five different (maybe more) PCI PPC boards that work with a Mediator right now.


The Developer 060/PPC board only worked with a CS-MK2 or a Blizzard 060. It doesn't make a broken CSPPC work again.

We sure do. Do you have some MPC107s and PowerPC MPC7445/7/7A chips?

No but I had no idea that anything like that existed, is it open?
Can people have PCB made and build them if they have the ability?

Yes and yes.
But it's for PMC format, so it would either take a PMC PCI adapter or would take some rework to turn it into a PCI card.
