Hi.
 I guess that on most accelarators this is a matter of copying the appropriate libraries to libs:, but the BPPC is an exception because it keeps its own 680x0.library in its FlashROM. Therefor, you need to apply a something that will disable/flush that library from the FlashROM, otherwise the OS will always use this, instead of the disk-based one.
 So, after i installed the MMULib.lha package, i added the BPPCFix040 BlizKick module and it did what it suppose to do. It disabled the 68040.library in order to allow SetPatch to load the 68040.library from LIBS:.
 But it doesn't appear to work! I'm using the latest version of SetPatch (from OS3.9 BoingBag #2, iirc) and it displays an error message which says that "a >=43 version of 68040.library can not be found", more or less.
 What can i do about about this? Has anyone succeded to make this work on a BPPC?

 EDIT: Hey, i think that i have found the root of the problem. I've just checked the version of the library and it says:
Quote
68040.library 40.16 (Monday 12 November 2001)
(c) 1999-2001 The MMU.lib development group,
THOR

 Now, the error message from SetPatch is justified. But, still, what can i do about it?

Bump

 After making my initial post, i realized that the problem may be solely related to the SetPatch of 3.9 and not with the BPPC, (See edit) but i am not able to edit the subject.
 Anyway, the precise error message is "No 680x0 >= V43 available.". So, anyone running AOS 3.9 has managed to install these libs?

@walkero
 Ok.


@matthey
 Thanks for the tips. The method that you suggested didn't work. I will send him a mail then.


@x303
 But.. isn't this exactly what i tried to do? :)

You might double check that your SetPatch is v44.38 also.


 It is: "setpatch 44.38 (Friday  8 March 2002)"

Yep, the lastest version of setpatch is used.

@AmigaMance
Why not give bppcfix a try instead of the blizzkick module, as the blizzkick module never really worked on my system. If it doesn't work you can always email thomas richter ;)


 You are right! For some strange reason the blizkick module doesn't really work, but the command does! Now the library is loaded by SetPatch.
 Regarding the error message, it was a BIG goof of mine. It was produced by SetMemMode, which i have placed one line after SetPatch... I guess its version checking is bogus. Sorry about that.

I use this line in my Startup-Sequence after SetPatch with Thor's CPU library...

MuFastZero MOVESSP ON

It gives a nice little speed boost on the 68060 at least. It should work on the 68040 too.


 I've been playing with my new software setup all these days. Reading docs, installed MuRedox. There is a fix for SetMemMode in the archive, btw. :D
 I'm not sure if i need MuFastZero, because:
Both expansion and exec libraries are loaded in Fast RAM.
SSP points to Fast RAM by default.
VBR is relocated to Fast RAM by the MoveVBR BlizKick module.
