68040 library?

Many thanks for all the info!

Although I figured something was wrong because DOpus wouldn't run, I went for broke and installed OS 3.9, and lo and behold, DOpus runs after 3.9 was installed! It's beyond me...

I'm using the stoak A1200 power supply, and that could indeed be the problem. I'm also gonna take a look see with SnoopDOS.

But for right now I'm gonna take a break and clean up all the blood from where I've been beating my head against the wall the past few days :-D

Thanks again!

Since my Apollo 1240 won't fit in the stock A1200 case, I'm going to put it in a tower, so I will have a better PSU in the tower.

I'm guessing that installing OS 3.9 gave me a different version of setpatch, which allowed DOpus to run.

I formatted DH0 and installed OS 3.9 on a empty hard disk, and she booted just fine with the 68040.library installed by OS 3.9.

i had issues with an Apollo board 1240 like you, same errors.  Turns out i had the Happy New Year virus, which attaches itself to many C commands, including the 68040.library, and also many programs like DOpus and scala.  It makes the infected files a few kb bigger.  Eventually i had to reformat the hard drive and get system floppies from somewhere else because the ones I had were infected. I'd run VirusZ to make sure.

That's interesting. Thanks for the tip.
