When I hadan Amiga1200, I used OS3.9, blizkick and with it the BPPCFix module (and the scsi.device from PowerFlyer). I had the latest warpup, and the emulated ppc.library. One of the latest library was buggy so I was using the older one. Nearly every old thing worked properly. And all new things worked too.

The ultimate question to all these things would be: Why?

For me when I first bought my BPPC, (BVision was not around by that time I think) PPC programs were unstable, most of them seemed to run very fast but with constant occational pauses which was irritating. ( like one movie player and some unarchivers) When warpos was released performance dropped a little but the pauses went away. This is what I remember about Powerup vs Warpup. I was happy about warpup.
