Restoring the original configuration of a ACT Elek. Apollo 1260

Works that have been made:

  • Cleaning the pad and weld residues on the solder side of the 68060 CPU.
  • Removing the KIT/Hack to use a SIMM 64MB instead of 32MB. The KIT / Hack not working well.
  • Restoration of the power PCB of the CPU and installation of the BD242 transistor (TIP32) in place of a voltage regulator. (Now the PCB is in original state)
  • Someone needs to explain me how the fuck do you can use a voltage regulator type LT1085(84) fixed 3.3V instead of a Transistor!
  • Overclocking with 80MHz oscillator.

    Who the fuck thinks LT1085 doesn’t work with Apollo?

    Hello, I did the conversion from Apollo 1240 to 1260. But I’m in trouble, I can not get it to work properly. I have already tried with WBLite, ClassicWB3.5, AmigaSYS4 and with WB3.1. but they all show in “SysInfo” a 68040 CPU but in reality what is connected is a 68060 CPU. But my worst problem is not that. I am not able to load any system without giving initialization error or error when opening some game.
    In all cases I did as reported here, adding the libs, the CPU60 drive and changing the startup-sequence (http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?37362-Adding-Apollo-libs-for-an- 060)
    The only one that loaded very fast and with no problems at startup was Workbench 3.1, but this without any modification other than those indicated on the site I mentioned.
    But I only managed to open two games and without saying that she is very “naked”. But still everyone shows to be a CPU68040.
    Could you please help me, I really want to make this Apollo 1260 work properly. Please.
