The 68060 was never used as the base processor in any Commodore Amiga's, however it was used as the base processor in several clones, and also the A4000T from Amiga Technologies was available with a third party accelerator card containing an 060. The 060 has been used on many accelerators. XC versions are earlier releases of the processor, whilst the MC is a newer revision introduced in 1999. The MC versions tends to be much more tolerant of heat and is more tolerant of being overclocked.
