 Anyway, the precise error message is "No 680x0 >= V43 available.". So, anyone running AOS 3.9 has managed to install these libs?


The mu package has a 680x0.library that acts as a generic api for the 68040.library, 68060.library, 68030.library, etc. However, I don't think the newest Setpatch accesses it. The error message is probably a generic message for the 68040.library not having a high enough version. It's kind of confusing though. The easiest thing to do would have Thomas Richter bump the version of the 68040.library. His 68040.library should have all the functionality that is necessary. I do NOT get a similar error with my 68060 CSMK3 and the 68060.library version is 40.20. I use BlizKick as well to boot my own custom ROM. However, the flash setup is much different on the Cyberstorms than Blizzards.

The newest mu 68040.library is 40.18 which was recently uploaded on Aminet.

I just thought of a possible work around. Install the Phase5 68040dummy.library (748 bytes) as 68040.library and rename the mu 68040.library to 68040new.library. Even if this works you should probably e-mail Thomas Richter and explain the problem. It's pretty easy to bump the version number and it would save headaches like this. He still has the same e-mail address as is in the docs.

AmigaMance already mentioned that he sucessfully removed the 68040.library in flash. If the Phase 5 68040.library was still being used then he probably would not have this error as the P5 68040.library has a high enough version number.

Are you using AmigaOS 3.9 with the latest SetPatch (v44.38)?

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

Good deal. The bug looks like it's in Piru's BlizKick module. It's not really incorrect for SetMemMode to ask for a minimum version of the 68040.library if it needs functionality that is in a later version. The problem is several different 68040.library's with different version numbers and different functionality.

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.
