A short follow-up here due to some email correspondance I had today.

>In short, fVDI/Eclipse works on the CT60, but only without the accompanying PCI-BIOS.

It turns out that the existence of working CT60/Eclipse setups is somewhat in doubt at the moment.

At least two people have claimed to have it working at one point or another. One of those has apparently now moved the Eclipse to another machine due to some kind of problem (might or might not be simply the lack of PCI-BIOS). Zorro has apparently been difficult to get in touch with, so I don't know the status there.

If there is a problem, it seems to be related to the lack of support on the CT60 for the /EXPAND signal on the Falcon bus (used to insert extra wait-states). I would not have thought that the Eclipse would need to rely on that, at least not for RageII register access (frame buffer read could be different but, as mentioned before, that is not possible on an '060 with the current fVDI driver, anyway), but I might be wrong.
I'll try to get some definitive information about this.
