Just bought an Blizzard 1260

My system wont boot to WB without the extra ram brought by the 1230.

As long as you have a monitor that will cope with 15hkz then you will be able to do anything you need by using the early startup menu to boot straight to a CLI. Copying files from floppy is easy, from CD is harder as you'll need to mount it. But it's doable.

You could install the Blizzard 1260 card and copy the 060 libs after that.

There are two options:

Booting from a Workbench 3.1 disk or disable the 1260 by holding the '2'-key while booting up.

I finally bought a Blizzard 1260 card, and I'm just wordering what to do next.
I dont have 1260 card yet, but I still have my 1230 that I will send to UK today.  My system wont boot to WB without the extra ram brought by the 1230. Should I copy the 060/040 libraries to LIBS: drawer before plugging the 1260 in? Is that all I need to do in order to make the Bliz 1260 to work?

I recommend CopyMem instead of NewCMQ060. And don't forget UtilPatch. And if you install BoingBag #4 you don't need BlazeWCP, FBlit or FText anymore. BlizKick is a *must* for a Bliz1260 .

I own a B1260 too and will try those programs, but about BB... Have you compared the Chip mem between BB2 and BB4?

I haven't mentioned it, but I have Amigasys 4 installed, and that comes with all sort of patches/fixes (Fblit,Ftex etc...). I'll just have to find out which patches are already installed on my system, and which are not.
Thanks for these suggestions Franko
