Blizzard 1260 problem
« on: April 26, 2007, 11:26:04 PM »
I've just got an 1260 from a succesful bid on ebay, but now i have a "little" problem trying to make it work :S
The card is identified on the early boot screen, the memory is reported (64mb edo ram) and everything is fine until i install the 68060-V44_3 package from aminet.
After i install the libraries and reboot, it returns a guru when running c:version (guru 8000 0003). If i run it without the simm, boots normally:S
If i try with a 16mb edo simm gives the same error, so i'm not sure that is a memory issue.
And one more thing, the mainboard is an 1D4, but i have done the "fix" removing both capacitors...

Any idea?

Pd> sorry for my bad english :)

That's a little worrysome, but don't panic yet. Those libs are incredibly obsolete. Get new ones from here.

Well, V44.3 is ancient.

Try this: systemdisk.lha

Read 68040dummy.library.notes for installation instructions.

It's strange because if i boot without startup-sequence, and then execute setpatch, i can run 060 demos without problems :S but when booting normally i cannot get past the version command
(i have tested starstruck and tint / tbl)

Hmmm.... perhaps the maprom function is screwy. Did you try it with the maprom jumper set to disabled?

you should install the smallest 68040dummy.library and rename it as 68040.library and also the bigger 68060.library.

Installing MuRedox/Oxypatcher/Cyberpatcher may be a good idea too.

Check out which datatypes do you have installed.

i have discovered that if i boot with the cache disabled, it boots normally.
Any idea so far?

(yesterday i tried to run cyberpatcher, but it still crashes :( )

This sounds like the problems Apollo '060 75mhz cards cause when you don't have the special libs for it

Is it a "full" 68060 you have or is it without FPU/MMU etc "LC" or "EC" model?

The cpu is an 060RC50, and with the libs installed and running cpu060 it's identified as 68060MC
