Switchable clock source between the system clock (16 MHz) and a crystal oscillator on the board (40 MHz should generally work). +This repo contains a KiCAD design of an expansion card that adds an MC68882 FPU to your Macintosh Classic II. The board has two layers to keep the PCB cost down. It offers a switchable clock source between the system clock (16 MHz, synchronous operation) and a crystal oscillator on the board (40 MHz, asynchronous operation; tested with MC68882FN40A, the rumours claim 50 MHz will work too). + +### Results + +The board dramatically improves the Floating Point performance of the computer. + +MacBench 1.0 results running @16 MHz (system clock): -### Parts -- 5-532955-8 (A34313-ND) +When using an external 40 MHz oscillator, the Floating Point results improves a bit more (it's not proportional to the clock frequency as at some point the slow 16-bit bus becomes a limiting factor): + + +### Order a PCB + +If you want to order a PCB directly, I have created a model on PCBWay: + + +### Bill of Materials + +| Qty | Value | Device | Package | Parts | Digikey reference | +|-----|-----------------|--------------------|----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------| +| 1 | | MC68882FN40A | PLCC68 | IC1 | | +| 1 | | PLCC68 socket | PLCC68 | IC1 | | +| 1 | | TE 5-532955-8 | | J1 | A34313-ND | +| 1 | | Pin Header 2.54mm | 3 pins | J2 | | +| 5 | 100nF X7R | SMD capacitor | 0805 | C1-C5 | | +| 1 | 10uF 10V | Tantalum Cap | A (3216) | C6 | 399-4788-1-ND | +| 1 | 51 ohm | SMD resistor | 0805 | R1 | | +| 1 | 40 MHz | Crystal oscillator | DIP-8 | X1 | | + +(sorry, I had most components at hand, so I only have Digikey references for the rather specific ones) ### References
