1/ Anyone here know some clues about the incompatibility of iFusion with the BlizzardPPC ? Is it about the ppc.library ?
The last ppc.library released for the CyberStormPPC is the v46.31
In the first BlizzardPPC firmware v44.67, it's the v46.25
In the last BlizzardPPC firmware v44.71, it's the v46.35
Somebody here ok to check iFusion on his CyberStormPPC with my extracted v46.35 (please, contact me by email) ?
2/ Some said that there is a bug in the second batch of blizzppc rev0 which cause some weird crash. There are some bogus memory adresses too, never try to write them with the ppc or you will have some problems...
Any informations about this issue ? Wrong ceramic capacitors ? Wrong resistors ? CPLD problems ?
Thanks a lot !

Ouch, I found this post :
"I tested MorphOS on some mobos with my blizzppc rev2.1 noscsi and the same setup. It worked on my old 2B motherboard (now fried) and on an 1D.4 and it doesn't work on my new 1D.1"
And this one :
"> then the "multitask-bug" a lot of persons have been experiencing, which also only happens on the BPPC
Not so. I can reporoduce the "multitask-bug" whenever I want on any system with a PPC regardless of it being CS or B. I'm not sure if it has to do with hardware or software, but I can guarantee that I can get Warp or PowerUP to crash taking the whole system with it in a matter of 30 seconds after a full and clean boot. Knowing how to avoid that is another situation all together. Keeping on topic though, it would be in thier best interest to release a product that's known to work on the csppc and continue testing for the bppc. Doing this will bring extra income that they did not previously have and can continue testing. Also, knowing that the base is being done so that they can have a full emulator on other platforms other than Amiga, it will help iron out any problems that they might not have seen or overlooked. Granted the extra cost for licensing of the roms, os disks, or bios images would not be all that cost effective at first however just a little funding would help a long way for the team at microcode. I'll say release it for the CSPPC and continue to test and develop for the BPPC"
And this :
"Well apparently it's not a bug in WarpOS afterall, but a error in the BlizzardPPC. MorphOS is said to have the same problems on Blizzards connected to anything but revision 1D mainboards. Maybe H&P and Ralph Schmidt could work together to track down this timing bug and make a workaround"

Why don't You ask Jim Drew directly? He has active account here.
afaik, it was something wrong with interrupts.
