Sorry, but absolutely none. The 68060 is a lot different from the 68000 and
it is far more greedy.
Don't be amazed with the speed gap between the 68000 and the 68060, there
were the 68020, 68030 end 68040 meanwhile, so this is normal. The 68060 is
the last processor of the 68k series, before Motorola decided to focus on
the PPC.

That would maybe be possible, but I think that the harware won't like it,
it may burn for example.
But don't you find that the 68000 at 10Mhz is enough, don't forget that
it's a Mac 128, or an Atari ST, or an Amiga 500 (without the
coprocessors!!!! ;-))
It think that it will be possible to make amazing things with Fargo and
with the TI92 that we have now.
Bye, Hope this helps.
