does the classic software work on an amiga with one of these PPC boards installed?


it depends. first of all, all PPC boards also include a 68x processor too. So, running os 3.9, you can run all classic software directly. PPC programs run on the PPC seperately.

OS 4.0 works little bit different. It completely disables the 68k CPU. All programs run on the PPC. 68k apps run through emulation on the PPC. There maybe compatibility issues, though I haven't run Os 4.0 myself, so I can't know.

Aside from the 68k apps, software that bang the chipset directly may give you problems too.
