Hum,
How about  this 1.48Mb download?

I have it here, I've bunged it on my FTP in uploads if you want to grab it ftp.amiga.kicks-ass.org/uploads

[Ryu]

i wonder what the legality is re where the Boingbags can be hosted? might be an idea for me to upload the BB's to here and Amigaworld....

[blobrana]

Yea , strange it`s not on aminet...

[jumpship]

Have to admit i found it odd when i couldn't find it on Aminet. would be good for all of it was on such sites as this, may be worth asking Wayne

Did you get it Jumpship? I saw someone in, I assume it was you, would be nice if you could let me know if it was you, and a thankyou wouldnt go amiss too :-)

[jumpship]

sorry mate, didn't mean to neglect you! i managed to get half of it down, but then this blood windows box crashed when I tried to open a, unrelated, file. Have been trying to get back in but it either says it was blocked or says "550 Requested action not taken: file unavailable".

And I thankyou for doing this, it is greatly appreciated! :pint:

Warning! Add modify your startup-sequence like this:

C:SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES=exec.library

The exec in the BB2 was udated with one written in the C language (slooow). The original was written in assembler (snappy). The performance with BB2 exec on a 060/50MHz is like a AOS3.1 w. 020/14MHz.

Also, try doing something about the datatypes.library task. It got priority 15 (or something) and locks the computer whenever in use by out-prioriting the rest of the system. I havn't found any good utility to adress this problem  without messing with the rest of the system (Execute), so I can't recommend anything.

Guys is this all regarding OS3.5 or 3.9? I had no problems downloading BB1 and 2 for 3.5 sometime last week from amiga.com.

[jumpship]

thanks for the heads up JetRacer!

@odin

I am looking for 3.9, sorry i forgot to add it into my first post

[Vincent]

I would assume it's 3.9 looking at the signature, but there is no BB2 for 3.9 - just an updated BB1.

All the BoingBags (3.5 BB1 & 2, and 3.9 BB1 & BB1Update) can be downloaded from amiga.com.

@ JetRacer,

The exec in the BB2 was udated with one written in the C language (slooow). The original was written in assembler (snappy).

Responsiveness seems fine on my A4000T w/ 060 and CyberVisionPPC gfx card, and the OS 3.9 BB2 exec.library.  So what version of exec.library are you using

[Ryu]

hmm you should be able to get it fine.... I'll stick it on HTTPd then www.amiga.kicks-ass.org

SilvrDrgn: ...Just try the line I recommended will you. It appears as if it is still running ok, until you put some load on it (ie. multiple tasks). Then it performs like a slug.
