Which 68060.library?

[ChaosLord]

My 1200 came with an Apollo 060 and the Apollo 68060.library of course.  So I always used that without giving it a 2nd thought.

Is there something wrong with the Apollo 68060.library?



I seem to recall that Thor's library utilizes a very clever wrap-around the 4GB memory map trick to get superfast speed.  Which of the other libraries do the same trick?


If a person uses WinUAE and they set CPU=68060 then which 68060.library should they use, if any?

And what if they set CPU=68060 + FPU=68882?
(So there are no unimplemented FPU instructions)



Also, does any of this stuff affect OxyPatcher/CyberPatcher ?

The newest versions of GCC 4 have improved the 68k code generation and fixed bugs. It's as good as most of the old 68k compilers now. Some of those new fancy optimizations work on the Amiga.

No way! :crazy: What happened?  Pigs started flying?  Hell froze over? :mickeymouse:

Which MMU is best from the "using it under WinUAE" perspective?

If I leave the machine off for months (which is not so untypical anymore), then it refuses to boot. The usual procedure is then to open it, rip everything appart, put everything back in and - voila - it's alive. Hard to say what's causing this. Weary electronics I say. It's just old crap.

I thought my machine had the same problem on my A1200T/060.

But then I learned a trick.

When pressing the power button in if I keep holding the button down for 2 seconds, instead of quickly releasing it like a normal person does, then the machine almost always boots up correctly the first time.

My A3000 and A1200T both have a pushbutton type of power switch, unlike my A2000 which has an actual power switch.

I don't think the MC68060FE133 even exists or has someone found some secret military inventory ?

Of course 68060FE133 exists.  Duh.
I donno if there is an MC on the front or not.

But it doesn't matter.  The point is they exist and they work.

Speculation is they are remarked 68060FE75, Freescale have never heard about it. The mask dates back to 1997.

Freescale have heard about them so please don't say that they haven't.

and why do you still have a Satanic avatar? Its against the TOS and is offensive.

I did a search on the US Trademark site and none of the symbols in his avatar are registered to Satan Inc. therefore they are not Satanic.

As nearly as I can tell those symbols are public domain and free for everyone to use.

Furthermore, if one of those symbols was Satanic in nature then it would be mentioned in the Bible so we could all be warned about them.  I read the entire Bible and there are no Satanic symbols listed.  There are quite a lot of lists in the Bible.  Poetry.  Sex stories.  War stories.  Murders.  Mass Murders.  All kinds of stuff.  But no Satanic symbols.


Furthermore, there are many symbols which do represent real evil in the real world, such as the Microsoft logo.  Will you be banning all discussion of M$ products and services?   Or just the logo?
