Very interesting, Nasta. As you say the technology is always moving on,

Actually it's not Xitami's fault. I suspect you are using the NT version

You are right, i should have been more precise,

And NOW it is the Q40/Q60, isn't it? ;-)
Oh, yes, definitely. The Q40/60 is definitely the closest type of hardware,
for several reasons. For instance, the GF IO chips

I don't think so. The Q40 is *much* nearer to your earlier announcement
than the QXL. Think about memory map,
something that
is proven right now.
Good luck with the design!
Thanks!

Not entirely on-topic... and probably a question for Peter Graf:
The Q60, AFAIK uses either a 66MHZ 68060 or a 75MHz (clocked at 80MHz)
68LC060. My question is: were any tests conducted with clocking the 66MHZ
regular 060 at a higher clock, and if so, what were the findings? 68k CPUs
are know to

NO! The best scenario that can happen is that the drive will not be
recognized as being there. The worst scenario... well, I guess you have
learned about that one!

I use a special PCMCIA/CompactFlash-IDE adaptor. But attention, not
all CompactFlash-IDE adaptors work. There are also differences
