the jumpers for the Cyberstorm MKIII should be set to EXT. Remember you also need to install drivers before installing card or it will not boot. Also, make sure the board has proper spacers and is sitting level on the 4000 board.


I think the answer is above.  If you did not install the 060 libraries and drivers BEFORE you removed the 040 and installed the 060, it won't boot.  I am not sure how far along the boot process it will go before it hangs, but I know you will not see any part of the Workbench and I suspect you won't be able to get to the early startup screen either.

Good luck, hope you get it running soon.  I am in process of shuffling accelerators, video cards, ethernet cards, and other Zorro cards between a couple Amiga A3000Ds, one A3000T, two A4000Ds and one A4000T, to get the best combinations and have run into the 060 install problem before.


Like DocQ says it's untrue that it won't boot without the '060 libs, it will most certainly boot if the accelerator is healthy but will probably crash on the setpatch line in startup-sequence and you'll get an angry red SOFTWARE FAILURE message on screen

Both me and DoctorQ have "been there, done that" when it comes to these things
