PPC support in OS 3.9
« on: April 27, 2008, 06:20:56 AM »
I would now like to add PPC support to my OS, what is the proper way to do this.... by use of the AmigaOS 3.9 cd or by use of the driver cd for my CSPPC card ??
Also, should I install the things from the SCSI floppy and CD that came with the card ??

hmmm ok... let's suppose I stick with OS 3.9 and might want to use a few apps and games that can utilize the PPC, I'd have to install PPC support then, right ??
If that is the case, should I use the floppys that come with the card or the OS 3.9 cd ??

Hmmm, I just installed WarpOS up to v 5.1 and then added PPCLibEmu also.
When I reboot the systems hangs right after showing the icons on WB, the background is still grey and the mouse cursor is not moveable (and showing the busy clock symbol).
I installed the v 14 of WarpOS, should I have chosen the v 7 when installing PPCLibEmu also ??

When I double clicked the Mountains tool it said "Cannot open ppc.library" and double clicking the PPCTool resulted in nothing happening.

I guess that means my PPC isn't working??

I removed Powerpc.library and warphw.library and installed the ppc.library from the floppy that comes with the card.

are there any settings in the early boot menu that might cause the ppc cpu not to work ?? (I haven't changed any settings though)
