Old driver disks and "new" OS 3.9 (68040.library for example)

[blakespot]

I just installed OS 3.9 and noticed that contrary to what I see on the usenet, there is no 68040.library or 68060.library in Libs/.  Had some apps not loading - so I coped:

68040.library
68040new.library
68060.library

from the Blizzard A1260 disk I have and now they run.  There's lots of other commands too that the installer on the floppy might install, but I am afraid of that since 3.9 is more recent than this disk.  I see it has an older ver of SetPatch on the floppy.  So I've copied a few things over by hand and hope I am doing a good job of guessing what is called for.

I guess that's a big issue - taking old driver disks and working them into a more recent OS without hitches.  As for the libs above - what is the deal with 68040 vs. 68040new?

Thanks..

I have SetPatch v44.17.  I also have the 692-byte 68040.library and the 102K 68060.library in Libs/.  I run SetPatch and it says:

68040 Support Code Loaded

...no 060 mention.  What should I do?

The SetPatch I am running came from OS 3.9.  As I said earlier, there was no 68060.library installed in OS 3.9.  I grabbed the

68040.library
68040new.library
68060.library

from the floppy that came with my Blizzard A1260 and threw them in Libs/.  Is OS 3.9 = BB2?  How do I get the latest SetPatch from BB2?  Since current SetPatch for me (one that came with OS 3.9) mentions only 040 - does that mean I am not getting certain accelerator advantages of 060?

Thanks.

Please provide a direct link.  I assume this is free?

Thanks.

Can someone send me the BB2 "SetPatch" so that my 060 will be recognized??  (I assume this is legal - I own 3.9 - twice).

Thanks.
