Hi dear Amiga friends,
First of all my setup :
Amiga 1200 (kickstart 3.0)
Gotek floppy emulator
Powerpc Blizzard 603 (68040)met 265 Mb Ram
IDE harddisk (standard Amiga hd)
I have tried to install the Powerpc card, but so far no success. I kept getting the error : C:Setpatch error (#8000002). Although I understood the Ppowerpc should work straight from the box, I thought I was missing some software and startup-sequence settings.
I have downloaded the phase5 system disk and transformed it to adf, so I can use it in the Gotek floppy emulator.
I am not sure if I downloaded the right one. because during the installation it refered to software for the 68060 and mentioned that it works just like Enforcer for the 68040 processor. This made me think I needed another phase5 install disk, but as I could not find one, I tried to install it. Seemingly worked fine, but after reboot I got no error, but also no memory visible to show the card is active. In showconfig it also shows the 68020 which is the native cpu. My Startup Sequence is also adjusted, the SetPatch command now reads;
Setpatch QUIT. My main question is :
1. Did I use the right software ? Is there a phase 5 PowerPC system/install disk for the 68040 only ?
2. I also tried many settings in the Powerpc menu, but I have no idea what they mean, does somebody know ?
In the bios all show (hd, dh0. expansion board).
I hope I gave enough info, would realy appreciate your comments, thanks in advance.
Have a great and sunny day everyone
