It really isn't that bad. Try it.

Rather unlikely for now. As OS X catches on, I suspect OS 8 will be released as 6 & 7 were, but that's not necessarily soon.

Apple did play with 060 CPUs (see http://www.lowendmac.com/rumormill/02/0405.html ), but nothing has ever been released by them that even mentions details, so you are entirely on your own.
Could czuba-tech make a 060 Mac card?... probably, if the OS doesn't require strange timings (OS 7 does, which gave Dave Small all sorts of headaches). But do you have 150 buyers of the card to make it worth someone's while? We Atarians have a need for a 060 card -- few Mac users do.
