2 part question.
1,)
my old cyberstorm mkII shows up as a 040 with nor fpu. I can remember this showing up as a 060 with fpu years ago....
I installed the driver that came with the card.... so I have the 060 lib. I can feel the speed up with board in there it just the cpu shows up as a 040 and all my funn fpu software won't run
2,)
I can;t get my cybervision card to work with the 060 pluged in? What gives they both work..
any help would be great!
my box is
4000(d)
3.1 os
toaster 4000
flyer

Which program are you using for system information? ShowConfig isn't the best one.
For getting both CyberStorm and CV64 to work without problems, install the latest libraries for the accelerator (68060.library version 46.5) as well as latest Picasso96 (v2.0) or CyberGraphX v4 plus update, depending of what software you prefer.
-
i just used the cpu command! Where do I get teh latest 060 libs? which is the better software cybervision or picasso95, I think I have the cybervision soft but where can I get the picasso soft?
thanks!

why not just open the amiga and see what cpu u have? the 060 is in most cases without a heatsink, the 040 has by default at least a heatsink... open it and look!
-
the 040 has by default at least a heatsink...
From where have you gotten that idea?
-
amigaites:
its not a 040, it is an o60
( don't have the box in front of me here at work!)
the origional 040 DOES have a heat sync!
anyway, I have several 060 at home, I will post them later.
the machine is open..... until I can sort this out no sence in closing it...
it just wired that they show up as 040's rahter the the 060 they are, so I was wondering is this a software issue. I run OS3.1
again thanks you guys are great!

AmigaOS 3.1 was written before 68060 was available, thus AmigaOS 3.1 CPU and ShowConfig commands don't know about the 68060 processor and report the CPU as 68040.
You can use the CPU060 command distributed with the 68060 library archive.

cpu060 caims that no 060 is available and that I should upgrade! I can feel the speed if the 060 the boot is real, so is the lack if fpu. the funny thing is that whe I swap back the to 040 (with fpu also), the fpu support is not there, it line the 060 lib is no good or something?
thanks!

Try using "Whichamiga", it recognises alot of the latest hardware.

Does the CV work in a different computer? Or in the same computer with a different accelerator?
The latest libraries and drivers for the cards can be obtained here (http://phase5.a1k.org/). See Phase5 Support Page.

I have run the CV64 in my 4000er just fine, until I plug in the CS MKII!
Sofar I can get the CV64 to work in my 3000er, but I may need to try some more.
thanks!

So, the problem is in the A4000, not one of the cards? May be you can try the combination in the A3000?

@pierre
The CV64 includes a jumper to choose your buster version. Try to move it to the pre-buster11 position
-
It was late I typed wrong, the CV64 so far has NOT worked in the 3000er only in the 4000er. I will try the jumber to see if it will work in the 3000er. The issue in the 4000 is that it stops working with I hook up the 060, I think its software! SOfar thanks for all the suggetions. I need new ideas as I haved tried everything I know....

I upgraded to 3.9. Now both showConfig and cpu show an 060 with mmu. What I'm missing is the FPU! I have 2 060 chips one is a XC68060RC50 and a XC68060RC50A, does anybody know if they have the fpu. when the 060 card is installed I can't run systems apps such as "screen mode", the OS complains about some 44 lib? On the other hand be removing the card and 060 lib II have installed the cv64/3d in the amiga 3000 and it worked. Wish I had the video/flicker module! So the isue is the phase5 mkII 060 board/CPU or software... If you have seen this type of this let me know. thanks
Pierre
(ps until I get the 060 CPU fpu issue sorted I can't run the CV64/3d and the 060...this sucks I am very close to having a killer setup)

@pierre:
If you are running AmigaOS3.1, you need to install the dummy 68040.library which comes with the 68060.library archive, as the 3.1 SetPatch does not know about the 060 and will load the regular 68040.library else.
You can find the latest 68060.library package here (http://hwa.amigaworld.de/drivers/accelerators/68060-191099.lha). There are also instructions in the archive of how to install the dummy 68040.library and everything correctly.
Both your 060s have a FPU. The A version, is later revision though.
Btw, get a card with a autoswitcher, like the real CV64, then you can use the builtin flickerfixer of the A3000. As a bonus the real CV64 is much faster and gives much better image-quality (the CV64/3d is terrible in that aspect).

The A revision is with smaller tracks and capable of overclocking over 66 MHz - the most I've seen is 80 MHz with proper cooling.

whats this boing bag? where do I get it? Also many thanks for the help so far, I have some things to try when I get home....
anybody have a cv64 (not 3d) that theywant to sell/trade?

@Pierre:
There is a CyberVision64 listed on AmiBench (http://www.amibench.net).
