@Piru

WhichAmiga still doesn't do anything for me (crashes? i get a gray screen).  How can i check the revision of the 68060?
I should try CPU060 and MyCPU060 off aminet???

The cpu on the TekMagic 68060 board reads:
XC68060RC50
and on top right corner it reads:
O1F43G QEBF9519A.  so it looks like original 68060.

Showconfig shows my configuration to be 68060.  Sysspeed gave the following:
Mips 66.32, Mflops 26.52.  How & where can i benchmark this against?
thanks.

CPU060 and MyCpu060 are for Phase 5 boards only.  Piru, any idea on why when i run it or click on WhichAmiga it goes gray screen?  (crashes?)  I'm using GVP TekMagic 060, A2000, OS 3.9.

Because it's a very hacky program and crashes with certain setups. Are you using the latest version, though?

Hi Piru,
the latest version, beta, didn't do anything different.  still grey screen.  Readme docs say no support for A2000, but thanks for your help anyway.  Maybe in future.

i want to upgrad my 2040 blizzard & i need a 2 files eprom 8.5, please, where can i find them ?

We have performed the upgrade to 060 but the frequency
is always divided by 2 with a 50 Mhz xtal. And with 66, yellow screen.

We need the last firmware 8.5, because we have the 8.1
Please, upload the two files or send us the two eproms 27c256


But, we have the firmware from a Blizzard 1240/1260 and from
the SCSI kit : the same for the 2040/2060 ?"
