Title: PPC equipped miggies
Post by: jj on August 20, 2004, 12:30:52 PM
Hi just a  personal curosity thing.

How many peeps who post on this site own a ppc accelerator
card for their classic miggies.

Can people stay on topic and not post " I had one", or I "want one", just after figures off boards owned

I've got a CyberstormPPC 68060/50MHz,604e/200MHz in my A3000 desktop.  I bought it maybe six years ago, along with a CybervisionPPC gfx card.  No problems with it whatsoever, best h/w I think I've ever bought, especially with the UltraSCSI3 DMA controller built-in.  I was worried about heat even though it was designed to fit the standard A3000 d/t case.  Luckily, I had previously cut a 2 inch square hole in the A3000 drive bay on the right side when I had a C= A3640 card w/ large heatsink.  This worked out well to put a large fan over the hole for extra cooling of the cpus, simms and permedia card.

I own 2, though one is a back up and I will probably sell it.

Here's the equiped PPC machine specs:

Amiga 4000D (in self made monster full tower)
CyberstormPPC 233/060 128MB
KS3.1, Buster 11, 16MB onboard
Prometheus w/Voodoo 3 3000 and RTL8029AS nic
Caweasel S-Class (w/ 5&1/4 drive and HD drive)
KickFlashOS4, Delfina Flipper, Algor-USB
9.1GB, 46GB UWSCSI + 24x8x4 SCSI CDRW
OS3.9, yadda yadda yadda, boradband connection
experimental modification, 50% speedup

This is the fastest Classic Amiga on the planet, I get 40+ FPS in Quake 2:-) Gotta the the classic:-)

Hi Cyberus

yes it is possible :-)

Just installed my CVPPC along the CV64 with 1 monitor.

CV64 with its passthrough is fantastic . .  .pity for the 604e still not working :-(

Framiga,

One last try about the 604e (this just crossed my mind).
Turn on your Amiga and quickly try to run a PPC program and see if it works. Make sure that the accelerator itself hasn't been used for a while and is completely cool.

It could be that your PPC chip gets overheated pretty fast and needs some extra good cooling. This is of course a long-shot guess, but it's worth a try. I've seen PPC cards do this (e.g. the provided heatsink and fan are simply not enough, as there are revisions of 603e and 604e chips that just get way too hot after minutes of usage, or less).

Hi x56h34

thanks for the suggestion but . . . already tryed :-(

i.e now i've installed PowerUP (for testings)

68060.library   v46.7     103636
ppcdiss.library  v0.49     61820
ppc.library   v46.31        162700

The first app that i try to launch is ShowPPC (just turning the system ON)

I get the message (after 5 seconds):

"Error- I need ppc.library 44+ . . Oh no!"

SysSpeed can test the speed of you PPC chip. You can try and run that test and see on which aspect it will fail, and that could potentially give away what part of the 604e is troublesome.

There's not much you can do if it is indeed broken. :-( Either send it to Amiga.fr, or DCE, and add another card to Dellert's ever growing collection of PPC cards. ;-)

@ x56h34

SysSpeed doesnt recognize the 604e at all.

BTW SysSpeed's PPC speed test, works only with WarPOS installed.

Already written to Hyperion 3-4 days ago . . . no reply yet (maybe holidays)

Amiga.fr is the only option ATM

Title: Re: PPC equipped miggies
Post by: x56h34 on August 20, 2004, 03:19:27 PM
@Framiga:

Have you tried using the card in a different Amiga? Perhaps you messed something up in your SYS: partition and now the card is acting up.

Try this for a quick test.

Get a WB3.1 boot floppy and clear out all unnecessary things from it so that you could have space to put the following stuff on it.
Install 68040.library (dummy) and 68060.library to LIBS:
Install the WarpUP libraries to LIBS:
Get UNLZX (WarpUP version) from Aminet and include it on the floppy.
Put a small LZX archive somewhere on the floppy as well.
Try to unarchive the LZX archive with UNLZX and see if it works.
If it does, your PPC cpu is fine.

This is a useful way of testing your PPC cpu, as the system is very simple (e.g just the WB3.1 boot disk), and could maybe indicate that your OS3.9 setup or whatever you originally use with CSPPC is actually bad.

It's not really noticeable in every day usage. I guess a good test would be to play the same game (e.g. PayBack PPC or Quake II PPC, etc.) and see the performance difference. Perhaps when OS4 comes out we'll see the actual difference. :-)

i've noticed your "CSPPC 233/060 probably broken PPC".

Which behaviour has the card?

Only the PPC doesn't works?

How it happened?

Hi Lemmink

i've noticed your "CSPPC 233/060 probably broken PPC".

Which behaviour has the card?

Only the PPC doesn't works?

How it happened?


Well the System startsup well with the card, SCSI works fine even a CVPPC isn`t makeing any problems.
Starting simple 68k programms (like desktoptools) is no problem, more complex thing like "real" programms don`t work (no crashes, it`s just that nothing happens when you doubleclick the programmicon), Starting PPC-programms results in absolut no reaction. I have used a copy of my current sys partiton to test the card.
I hadn`t time to give set up a system from scratch to see what is really up with the card.
On the subject how I happend I can`t say much. I bought it used and the former owner told me the machine works well, he just formated the drive so he didn`t have any PPC-Programms to show me it works. As I picked up the sytem im person and talked to the guy he belived him as he seemed totally trustworthy. After I loaded teh machine into my car he told me that he actually never managed to run any WarpOS Programms, only PowerUP. I thought, well he just had not the patient to fiddle around with it.
Then he told me that he once send in the whole sytem A4000 Mobo, Picasso II and PPC-card and got it reworked.
The A4000 mobo actes strange too, it refuses to boot up with an MKII but happyly accepts the PPC-card or the original 030 card.
