How to use a newer 68040.library on a BPPC?

[doctorq]

Why? Both of mine are working fine with OS3.9 and WarpUP.

@doctorq:
Because I have nothing but troubles with OS3.0. Is OS3.0 too old for this kind of thing?

What 68040.library do you use?

[Framiga]

not sure to have understood but... do a

version 68040.library full

The latest 68040 available is 46.13. (which a don't think its already in the latest FlashRomUpdate)

version 46.7, that is in the flash of the card.

@sgr86

I have flashed both cards with a flash update from year 2000. Installed the v46.7 68040 libraries in libs: as well, and all is running perfectly.

I get

C:version Program Error #8000000A -> reboot

Sometimes I cam also get either #80000004/A/B from the startup sequence as well from list and mount.

Wordworth 2 AGA, only the menus work.

Have you tryed to install in Libs: ALL the 680x0 set posted above? (the.new, .old and the little stub 040)

yes

Well, many will most likely claim that it's not needed to install any additional libraries for using a BPPC, but I have never been able to get anything stable out of a computer with a BPPC (both 040 and 060) without installing the software libraries as well.

Install the libraries, and the problems you are describing will disappear.

I see

Well, I've tried BPPCfix but it's unstable and unpredictable. Because of that I never got arround to trying BPPCFixFix to actually load the libraries.

[doctorq]

You don't need to install BPPCFix to get a stable system. The only thing I use BPPCFix for is to remove the ppc.library, so I don't get a WarpUP disable requestor every time Workbench loads.

So how do you override the 68040.library on the card?

[doctorq]

@srg86

I don't know, and I actually don't care as long as the computer runs stable (the only time it has crashed during the last two till three weeks is because of to heavy load on the 68040, but never to a GURU).

I'm guessing it gets loaded from file when SetPatch is run, as the only editing I have done to my Startup-Sequence is to add BlizKick with a couple of modules (BPPCFix, NoIDE, NoClick, etc, but not BPPCFix040).

@doctorq

For me BPPCFix stopped working at some point. Or rather, it removed ppc.library but my BVision was gone as well. In the end I decided to settle with WarpUp requester on every boot.

Well I'm going to settle for my Blizzard 1260 when it comes in a couple of days. I only need this BPPC card for fiddling about with programming 040s and PPCs eventually so the libraries won't be needed.

@doctorq

I will try this card once more with the SIMM from my 1230IV, it could be a RAM problem I suppose.

[doctorq]

@itix

Sounds odd. And the BVision works fine without BPPCFix? What if you use BlizKick with the BPPCFix module?

@sgr86

Fair enough, if you can live without a graphics card :-) Just remember to install the libraries for the Blizzard 1260 when you get it.
