I used to run it in my OS 3.0 A4000 until I towerised it (it only had a 68030@25 at the time)... but when I towered it it stopped working completely as it just doesn't get on with the Eagle backplane. I've never tried (or been able to try) with my CS-PPC.

You could also try disabling FastMem. That may slow down the CPU enough to run it nicely. Maybe...!

just as I suspected....
I tried with the ec030/25 card (with an AGA display, pIV one was dead slow) the GG works fine...
why is the mk2 plagued with so many probs? bah...  :madashell:

EDIT: tried the command "cpu nocache" before gg , and it works! there are some floppy disk issues though... it cannot always understand the inserted disk... the 030 again worked fine.  :madashell:  :madashell:  :madashell:

It's plagued with problems because the OS was never designed for a 68060 so the GG was never expecting such a fast CPU.

Have you tried it with no FastRAM or no CPU caches? If that works you could just write a little script to disable caches and/or FastRAM, run Digger, and then re-enable them after it's booted.
