In the latest episode of Retrobits, a groundbreaking new addition to the retro computing world is showcased: the Z3660 by sHaNsHe (Double H Tech). This innovative all-in-one board brings Amiga 4000 systems to a whole new level with advanced features, including 16-bit graphics and sound, Ethernet connectivity, SCSI support, and more.
The Z3660 is a CPU accelerator board that merges the functionality of the A3660 with the capabilities of the Z-turn FPGA board. At its core lies the legendary Motorola 68060 CPU, the pinnacle of the 680×0 CISC processor family. Renowned for its high performance and forward-looking architecture, the 68060 shares many characteristics with the Pentium processor and has powered iconic systems like the Amiga 3000T and 4000T, as well as the Atari CT60 and CT63.
With this level of hardware enhancement, the question arises: what can you achieve with such a highly upgraded Amiga? From running complex productivity applications to pushing the boundaries of retro gaming and multimedia creation, the possibilities are as exciting as they are diverse. The Z3660 opens doors for Amiga enthusiasts to explore their favorite retro platform like never before.
