Success, it seemed to be a borked workbench installation.

I've installed the phase5 libraries for both the 040 and 060 (I've now got my Blizzard 1260). The BPPC uses it's built in libs though.

All is stable, though the 060 is still only detected as a 68040+68882.

Blame the old application (showconfig I guess).

 Could someone provide me a changelog for the 68040 and ppc libraries, please? I did a brief search and couldn't find anything.
 I'm just curious on what changes have been made to the libraries.

Sorry for persisting on this but can someone post the changelog of the 68040.library v46.13, please? ( The ppc.library gets flushed by the bppcfix anyway)
 The reason that i'm asking this, is because reflashing the BPPC is a very dangerous procedure and i can end up with a dead card if something happens in the middle of the flashing. So, i need to see the changelog and decide if the newer 68040 library worth the risk. Thanks.

 It seems that it's the most rare changelog or maybe nobody cares. Anyway i'm making a last bump on this.

Personally I don't care.

Just flash the card, it's not brain surgery and the chances of wrecking the BPPC are almost non existant.

@Amigamance

I don't have it to hand, but as DoctorQ says it is pretty straightforward (same risk as a bios update on a PC) just don't pull the plug midway through.

Either that, or use the 040 switch after the BPPCfix command and install the newer 68040.library in your LIBS: drawer.
Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6
Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.
