Well, I ordered from AmigaStore.eu, is that an official reseller ? They said they'd update it for me !
Also I have noticed Vesalia offers an alternate version of the 060, XC68060RC50, is that a good choice ? (Too late for me, order placed with the LC version at AmigaStore.eu)
Cheers !
AmigaStore (and other stores) sell open source versions without the logo. (The builders sell official versions with the logo.) XC68060RC50 is a full 68060 with FPU and MMU (rev1) so it most likely won't be able to be overclocked but on the plus side you'll have a full CPU.

Oh... I had no idea... Where to find the official builders list ?
Really sorry, I hope you still get a % on the sales ?

Been posted here many times :) Supaduper/go0se for the UK, Chucky for Europe and me for North America.

To my knowledge Stephen only gets a cut from us, not from the stores.

Official builders are
@supaduper (UK),
@alenppc (North America),
@chucky (EU).
AmigaStore are good to me but they dont give me a % cut

Thx ! If I understood properly, being a rev1, the XC68060RC50 will get significantly hotter ? (I plan to use it without a fan at 50 MHz :) cheers !

Should run just fine without a fan, anyway nothing better than the `Finger test ` when you want to know how hot something is running ;)

Oh, a forum mate is gonna lend me a 060 with fpu. The revision is not visible anymore. No risk to try it with the board ?

If your mate says it is good then give it a try and use `WhichAmiga` program to tell you the revision
