That's normal for 3.1. I think it's a SetPatch issue that's only resolved in 3.5+. Doesn't adversely affect anything, though.

EDIT: These are the best 060 libs to use with any installation.

That's a semi-official SetPatch, so you're in good shape. The Envoy network package even installs it automatically. Personally, I wouldn't mix a 3.9 CPU command with a 3.1 system (just a little OCD behavior on my part), but it's probably fine to do.

3.5 didn't come out until late 1999 and there was loads of 060 software on the market before then so I don't think you need to worry about the faulty autodetection with 3.1 (ShowConfig is also affected). As to CGX, I don't believe there are 060 libs. Just generic 040 and up.

You're welcome!

I also just remembered, the phase5 060 software included a special CPU command called CPU060 to supplement the one from Commodore. It's been ages since I had it installed and I'm not sure I ever had to use it when it was, but it should be in an archive on that same page if it interests you.
