How to use a newer 68040.library on a BPPC?

[doctorq]

Why? Both of mine are working fine with OS3.9 and WarpUP.

I have flashed both cards with a flash update from year 2000. Installed the v46.7 68040 libraries in libs: as well, and all is running perfectly.

Well, many will most likely claim that it's not needed to install any additional libraries for using a BPPC, but I have never been able to get anything stable out of a computer with a BPPC (both 040 and 060) without installing the software libraries as well.

Install the libraries, and the problems you are describing will disappear.

You don't need to install BPPCFix to get a stable system. The only thing I use BPPCFix for is to remove the ppc.library, so I don't get a WarpUP disable requestor every time Workbench loads.

I don't know, and I actually don't care as long as the computer runs stable (the only time it has crashed during the last two till three weeks is because of to heavy load on the 68040, but never to a GURU).

I'm guessing it gets loaded from file when SetPatch is run, as the only editing I have done to my Startup-Sequence is to add BlizKick with a couple of modules (BPPCFix, NoIDE, NoClick, etc, but not BPPCFix040).

@itix

Sounds odd. And the BVision works fine without BPPCFix? What if you use BlizKick with the BPPCFix module?

@sgr86

Fair enough, if you can live without a graphics card :-) Just remember to install the libraries for the Blizzard 1260 when you get it.

Personally I don't care.

Just flash the card, it's not brain surgery and the chances of wrecking the BPPC are almost non existant.
