CT60 is PLUG'N PLAY !

The previous accelerator boards always required you cut and solder on
the motherboard, but now thanks to a revolutionnary hardware design,
the mainboard is not touched by the fitting.

From a base Falcon, there are ANY SOLDERS to fit the CT60 ! In this
case, the Falcon mainboard is not boosted.

The CT60 is compatible with all boosted Falcon mainboards, except
those boosted by a CT2...

From a CT2 accelerated Falcon, it is necessary to assemble back the
Falcon in base state. This means if you remove a CT2, you have to put
again the GAL chips U62,63,67,68 and U44, and the CPU if it was
unsoldered. The timings of the equations in those GAL were not
compatible with the accesses at 50 MHz by the CT2, especially for the
DSP. But CT60 accesses the Falcon at 16 MHz and this didn't ever
cause a problem in those GAL. If you didn't keep these components,
they will be furnished and the CPU will be freely soldered.
