Notice
blizzard PPC Card User with still Problems shoud use blitzkick and morelibspace command add here,
because "Anti WarpUp Code" of Card or romtofast set with jumper, seem overwrite morelibspace Code.
Notice for Coders:
In Aminet is from OS4 API the AllocSysObject.lha Code from Ilkka Lehtoranta from his OS4 emu.
AFA dont add this code , it seem more easy portable for all Systems, when Programmierers
that need this add this to their own Code.

Works great on my a4000. Thanks Bernd and Ken.

Anti WarpUp Code
Which code would that be exactly?
-
I dont know what the blizzard do here.but i read
that blizard load the powerup library early.
But it happen that the resident is always kill on a soft reboot.
see code of morelibspace.
Wy this do not run a a blizzard1260 card ?
seem the resident is always kill

So if you don't know what causes it, wouldn't it be smart to avoid spewing nonsense such as "Anti WarpUp Code"?
There is no such code in any phase5 products. Yes, on BlizzardPPC powerpc.library is initialized inside the flashrom, but NO, unlike what the WarpUP guys wanted everyone to believe, it is no anti-WarpUP measure.
But it happen that the resident is always kill on a soft reboot.
There are various things that can cause this. One reason could for example be that the code in question is overwritten by some early memory usage. To check for this you could try allocating safety buffers on both before and after the code.

but there is no reason to do that in flashrom because most programs are use warpup.
Is it right that i hear that it is not so easy to boot a new OS maybe linux OS4 MOS on a blizzard Card ?.
what is the trick, wy is the blizard card so critical ?
What is diffrent to cybppc when add resident modules ?
