Bad PPC?

[kreciu]

If you want to test PPC, make a floppy from this and boot from it:

Run PowerUP test and you should get "OK". WarpUP test will most likely fail (not important).

Thanks for the great resource.

I tried it and the Powerup claims I don't have the ppc.library, which I assume means the PPC is toast.

Thanks for the help!

OR your cyberstorm is not powered properly/or connected! My Blizzard + Mediator is super touchy with power.

I had the same ONCE.

Your have "issue" for sure... (I spend last few weeks playing with 100% PPC and I think I've seen "everything" already).

Hmm, I think it is connected ok because the 060 is working.

Power is an interesting idea.  The 3000D power supply could be the issue although it aeems fine.  I also have a mediator but, the system ran fine for years.  So I'm thinking the ppc.

I don't have to much experience with PPC, but recently I got my 060/PPC and it was really interesting experience.

In short.. NOTHING looks simple for me , my point don't give up to fast. PPCBoot tells you that "something" is wrong - this is MY interpretation of this results.

In my BlizzardPPC I also had the same error "no ppc.library" and right now my A1200+AmigaOS4.1 works great... stable as a rock (expect Update 1, but this is different story ).

Good luck!

Wow, great call.  The power supply was the culprit.

Thanks for saving me lots of money.  Never thought the power supply would create issues like killing the ppc but keeping the 060 going.

I now have to shop for a decent atx power supply that was retrofitted for a 3000D power supply case.  I think I saw a few on Amibay...

This is my 3rd 3000 power supply to go bad in the last 2 years.

Thanks for update! I can give you my paypal address for payment . Happy it worked! Now you will have all OTHER issues with it

BTW. My best PC power supply: CORSAIR  RM650i. Peace of ART.

You wrote this is your third power supply in two years, that is not normal for sure. Power supply can/should last 20 years... You should send your Amiga to Dr. Acill :-) for physical.
