Did you install the 68060 libraries?
-
OK, have you tried re-installing the Cyberpatcher software? The 060 is a bit erratic without the libraries installed
When you installed 3.9 did you say yes when it asked you if you have a 4-way IDE adapter? Try re-installing the Powerflyer software.

when i first installed os 3.9 i had a 030 and had
the same problem with amidock i think it was
to do with the fact that amidock loads with a
jpeg window background so i deleted the old
data type i have just got a 060 and find its less
reliable than the 030 i hope its of some help
delete old jpeg files out of
sys: devs/datatypes/
classes drawer (sorry iam at work and cannot remeber where it is) :-D

Right all that is on my hard drive is os3.9 and if i click on anything it says failure wait 4 disk activity 2 finidh dudpend or reboot.Then if i put an030 it works fine,if i install the powerflyer software and say yes when it asks can i change startup sequence it it just keeps reseting.Then if i say no the hd loads up but there is no cd rom on screen if the 030 is in it comes up fine?.This is really getting on my nervs ive had nowt but trouble with the stupid thing what drivers do i need?i never got any with the board at all?th i do have 060.library off what sum1 gave me as icant download off the net im on games console until IF My amiga 1 day works yippeee yeah right.

Tried re-installing OS 3.9 ?
-
You have to replace the 68040.library with a dummy replacement pointing to 68060.library IIRC.
It should be available on Aminet.
If you can write this, then you should be able to download it and put it on a floppy, no? :-)
-
Well i said i was on a console as in a Sega Dreamcast so no i cant download lol..So im pretty stufffed really yeah ive lost count the amount of times ive tried o re install 3.9 same old crap happens.Can the 1260 not even load from floppy?it just resets itself if i try load the emergency boot so i have 2 then plug my brothers 1230 in, good job he has 1 eh?.
Im close 2 putting a hammer through the stupid thing right now
-
Do you have any RAM on the 1260? I think its like the Cyberstorms and they require at least 8MB on them to boot properly.
-
This may help you, might be a library is out of date or memory simm.

Also check you have the latest version software for the Powerflyer, older versions did not work with OS3.9
-
Not fun.. but! Lots of these people says right..
1. Install atleast some mem.. about 32mb RAM is fully oki!
2. Install 68040dummy.library and 68060.library
3. Rename 68040dummy.library to 68040.library
4. Boot and everything should work!
Reason for this, is that 060 is not directly implemented. The support for this CPU came after Commodore dead in 1994. So phase5/DCE created a dummy library. Thats the 68040dummy.library wich tells your Amiga that 68060 is there thru 68060.library.
I hope that this helps. And download Filer for example from Aminet. This is a small and very handy filebrowser like Dopus4. It can be opened from CLI/Shell anytime if you have the exe file in your C: dir.
I hope this helps more.. and I hope you get it up and running... Good luck!

Yeah thanks 4 all the help ppl but i cant download a single thing as im on a SEGA DREAMCAST i dont own a pc or mac.Yeah my board has 64mb my powerflyer is about 3 weeks old so it came wit the latest driver..I dont have any software libs only 1 60.lib thats it..*sigh*
-
Where are you located someone might be able to send you the disks with
the 060 libarys as you do need them!
Re Powerflyer:
Power Flyer ATA3.driver v6.0 on, 'Setpatch SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device'
is not needed. Earlier versions require SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device"
and disable all scsi.device entries in DEVS:NSDPatch.cfg.
-
Your've ALL said correct answers etc except the most obvious...
Are you using the crappy standard "Brick" power supply ??
060's like da juice.
You should ALWAYS install the cyberpatcher software BEFORE installing the 060 card.
I have the cyberpatcher software right here......
But where are you ??

Hi
Im in uk northumberland if any1 can send the stuff i need that would be cool:)id pay postage costs,anywas my amiga is in a power otwer ive bought loadsa crap for it at times im wondering was it really woth all the hassle i bought the tower brand new i then bought a preowned powerflyrer whcih wa bust and blew my motherboard and the power supply that connects 2 motherboard i then buy another board of amibench that he said had the timing fix and i bought a new power flyer and had the power lead made from power whcih was £25.Then the powerflyer wasnt working so i ent it 2 power who sent it 2 elbox i got it back 1 month later they said it was faulty and that it had also blown a rom so they replaced it
then i find my board aint had the timing fix so now ive gotta get that done i hate scum bags.Then i had 2 sell my apollo 1260 as it was the 75mhz version which only took 32meg and cant have another simm fitted.
ARGHHHH ANYMORE AND IM GONNA BLOW....
-
Oh yeah ive said ive already re installed os3.9 over and over i could odo it until my hard drive blows up it doesnt matter.So you need cyber patcher then?the lad who sold me it says he never seen the point so never used it?
-
I had a similar experience installing OS3.9 on My A1200T, it's got a Blizzard1230 MK IV, a powerflyer and has the timing fix.
Sometimes I could get quite a long way through the instalation before it screwed up, sometimes I couldn't and sometimes I could complete the instalation but when I booted into OS3.9 clicking anything made the screen go black and rebooted my machine.
Sounds like we have similar configs except for the accelerator. In the end I gave up and reverted back to OS3.0, which works good, I never stopped blaming the powerflyer though.
If you get it sorted drop me a line about what you did, it may help me.
-
Hmm strange lol yeah i had a o30 myself but gave it 2 my brother when i got the apollo,ive tried it since im having bother with my blizzard 1260 and the 1230 works fine with os3.9 everything works soon as i put the 1260 back in it all goes 2 pot?
-
Well Gav your in luck since so many here are in the UK. Someone get with him and send him a set of install disks for the bliz. with the latest libs on it.
-
Hi :-)
As it seems that nobody noticed it, the last setpatch version "setpatch 44.38 (08/03/02)" from OS3.9 Boing Bag 2 has integrated the fonctionalities of MMULib's 680x0.library, thus making automatic recognition of the cpu installed , either 68030, 040 or 060, and loading/initializing the right library for it.
Thus we no longer have to use fake 68040.library or MMUlib's 680x0.library replacement :-D
Since, I have only the 68060.library from MMULib v43.6 package in Libs:, and It's perfectly working for me :-)
