Got my BPPC, now what soft/drivers/libs to install?
« on: March 08, 2005, 06:39:28 AM »
I got my BPPC yesterday, I decided not to take the phase5 model, but a DCE which is rev2 so my G-Rex will work nicely with it  
The first thing to do was to remove my p5 1260 and insert the BPPC... wow! I saw an instant speed increase in OS3,9 although I did not change any libs... could be from the 060 running at 60mhz instead of 50...
Ok, my big Q is: I will re-install OS3,9 (I have some stuff to cleanup, so I'll wipe the partition clean) but then what do I need to install? I have a PPC System Disk with updated 2001 040/060 libs, I suppose the installer also installs ppc ones? after that? do I need to install WarpOS? I tried to run the update to wOS 5.1 , it completed OK, but it said that it would install library xxxxxx and there was no installed version, so I guess warpOS was not installed...

Excuse any errors I made, it is 07:30 pm now, I am @ work  :-o

Yes, you do need WarpOS installed to make use of the PPC and then you need PPC programs installed to make use of it.
Existing programs incl. the OS will still use the 68k processor...

See http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminet/dirs/biz_haage.html for WarpUp files

Isn't a version of warpOS installed by deafault by OS3,9 ??? I have a WarpOS prefs icon in my PREFS...
or do I need to install v4 and then update to v5.1 ???
and are there any newer ppc libs, or the ones on the diskette are the final ones? I have a DCE card, and the diskette says Phase5...  :-?
