    The official Mac's from Apple never did use the 060... but some upgrade  
cards were available from third parties that use the 68060 to upgrade  
68040 machines. I remember some of the ads bragging that it would allow  
you have to have PowerPC perfomance with native 680x0 apps... I don't  
think many sold, though.
