PowerPC accelerator - how does that work then?

Even an '060 is overrated IMHO as it can cause major headache's with the different versions of 68060.library... The 060 also came out after Commodore left us, there never was a 060 card from Commodore or AT. Only a rebadged Quickpack card if I'm not mistaken. They are faster than a 040 for sure, but feature and compatibility-wise nothing beats a 40MHz 040 such as the WarpEngine.

Great explanation of the PPC/68K coexistence on Classic Amiga's! I've done much reading about it the last year but this is the best summary I've seen ;-)

If you have any guides to programming for WarpOS that would be much appreciated... I cannot get the gcc 2.95 running properly to build native WarpOS binaries (apparently the powerpc assembler is missing)...

edit: making it easy to port programs, having an easily installable compiler with SDK is my "classic 3.9 holy grail" ;-)

OK, I'll give it a try! Still need to figure out the correct jumpers for my GVP 4060DT (now quite unstable) but after I do, I'll give it a go. For the money a WE is the best card there is IMHO...

The nice folks at EAB pointed me to VBCC as a better alternative to gcc for creating 68K / PPC code. Will try that as well...

And 'zip' and 'unzip' versions on the PPC really fly compared to the 68K version... I'd say a factor 10x speedup. If I ever figure out how I'll recompile a nice version of LHA and ZIP for AmigaOS 3.x and WarpOS.
