What kind of '060 are you running (Apollo or Blizzard)?

Are you already using Blizkick/Remapollo with all Modules?

@ Gav

There are 2 big "patches" that would be good for your 060 based miggy.

One is Oxypatcher - this is/was comercial so you may not be able to download it and im unsure where you can get it from.

The second would be Cyberpatcher which you can download but it is not as good as Oxypatcher.

I cant remeber properly what they do but the do give a good performance benefit when installed.

Thanks,

Unfortunately, I can't tell you too much about Blizkick, since I have an Apollo, but Remapollo is quite similar in what it does.

It copies your Kickstart ROM to the Fast-Ram on your Blizzard, speeding up system operation.
I also use it for copying several modules to fast-ram, such as  Noclick and most updates which are included in BB2 ROM-update.

I guess this is the authors website:

It's http://www.iki.fi/sintonen/sw.html btw ;-) (reason for this anality being that the website has been hosted on various locations before. Even when the url changes the iki.fi url will always redirect to correct location)

Anyway, I'd recommend at least BlizKick, CyberPatcher, NewCopyMemQuick060 (NewCMQ060) and NewPatchMult64.

I'm sure there are others... It has been a while I had a real 68060 system running...

I think this site also has interesting information on the Blizzard 1260.

Going to try CMQ060 and NewPatchMult64 here but not sure which is the best place to put them in S-sequence and u-startup...any idea?  :-)

@AMIGAZ

They can be in user-startup or after setpatch in startup-sequence. The reason for putting them into startup-sequence would be to get the speedup as early as possible during the boot process.

Didn't use the test tool before I installed the stuff but I got a feeling it feels a bit faster but nothing huge.
Haven't fiddled enough with her to see what happened..got stuck at Wincustomize.com after finding some new candy there for my Object Desktop  :crazy:
