That's great news! Too bad there are no purchasable PPC accellerators left in the world.

Same for Grex PCI bridges which seem to be a requirement. I've got my CSPPC in my A3000d which will become towerized if I ever have time to finish it, and I also have an A4000T to choose from. All I can find are A1200 Grexes anywhere on web stores, if they even have those in stock. I was given a hint to look up ggsdata for A4000 model Grex, but all I see there is A1200 version.

Oh well, I'll just have to continue my Morph-less existence. Not a big deal, but I was curious to see it...

@billt:

Try this page and search for "Grex".

Proof positive that no one actually bothers to read the news.

Ah, thanks. I hadn't found it on the first pages of the menu button sections, and hadn't noticed the categories off that first page of each. Still took me a few minutes to find the english version of your link.

Still looks like I can't use it anyway, the description only says A4000d, which I don't have. Any chance this thing could work in an A3000d or Quikpak A4000T? Item description doesn't mention that.

If one of you tries this and has the ability to make a video please do so.. but dont make it blurry or half arsed if you know what I mean.  Also some boot up times, performance stats etc...  MOS absoloutely rocks on a Pegasos..so I'd love to read about someone running it on a PPC classic.

Nope, isn't gonna work. The 4000D is only suitable for the 4000 Desktop, there has never been (to my knowledge) a 3000 version. There was a 4000T version but I believe to have read somewhere that only 12 of these were ever made. If you want a GRex you will need a 1200 or 4000D....

Then you must be looking the wrong places. Some often pops up on Amibench, others on AmigaWorld, and plenty more on ebay. At least I know they are there, because I have advertised some myself :-)

There's one here: http://cgi.ebay.com/CyberStorm-PPC-604e-233MHz-060-50MHz_W0QQitemZ5233140016QQcategoryZ8142QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

installed on a bootable partition (CDH0:), set the:

set bootdevice "bootdevice=CDH0:"

tryed the resetlevel 1 or 7 but i'm still at this error:

"startup  Failed returncode 10"

erm . . suggestions? :-)

Config: CSPPC-CVPPC

[lordspider]

Did you set the protection of all files to RWED?
Sometimes after copying the files from CD onto HD the files have only the R flag set.

[Framiga]

yes they are already RWED

ah .  . MapRom disabled as well.

no idea

Same thing happened to me. You need to put copies of your 680x0-libraries (68040.library 68060.library and so on) in CDH0:libs
Use resetlevel 5

Works great for me now, if I just just get some sound from my DelfinaPlus.... and perhaps some interesting software running, like a TCP/IP stack...
