Installing CyberGraphX 4.3

[amigadave]

Btw is see you have 060 blizzppc, be sure to have the latest 68060 library, or else cgx will also not work at all in combination with os3.9+bb2.

This question has been asked many times, but forgive me for asking it again.

Which is the best/latest 68060 library and where can it be found to download it from?

Also, would the answer be the same for a Blizzard 68060 card (no PPC) and for a CyberStorm PPC w/68060/50MHz and 604e/233MHz?

Thanks for the link, but I was hoping for advice from members who have actually used the files and could tell me which libraries are best and why.  Which flash updates are best for my CSPPC and why.  Etc.

There are different versions of the same files and flash updates on that site and the readme files are very short, or non-existent to help the uninformed choose which files, libraries, or flash updates they should download and use.

well if you actually look at the link provided, there's only one v 46.15 68060.library, and that's the one you want. WHY ? because it's latest.

and there's no flash update for CSPPC, cause it doesn't have a flashable rom. You're getting mixed up with BPPC.

I think you had better have another look at the three flash update files found at that site.  They are all labeled "BlizzardPPC 040/060, CSPPC and CSMK3".

See that "CSPPC" in the middle, to me that stands for Cyberstorm PPC cards.

Now, maybe you are right and the CSPPC cards can't be flashed if what you say is correct and they don't have a "flashable rom", but the flash files are clearly labeled for all three different Phase5 boards.

As for your other comment, "latest files" should be the best, but in practice, sometimes they are found not to be in certain circumstances, or on certain boards.  That is why I asked my questions.

Edit:  Also, if the latest 060 library is always the best for all boards in all circumstances, why keep the older version available on the site for download if no one is ever going to need it?

I have the latest files except CSPPC flash which has the latest "official" because I don't need what the latest upgrades gave (G-Rex support etc).

Is there some place on any site that you know of that provides more explanation of each file, or do the uncompressed files contain readme files, or log files with information on each update and what was changed?

Fixed my driver issue anyway thanks guys.

Problem was, even after installing the update, my cgxsystem.library was only v 42 and not 42.7 which it currently is. Investigating why not it appears that my original cgxsystem.library did not have the correct permissions so the patch could not be applied.

I keep getting this issue and only when using a CF card that is being used inside WinUAE to install certain items (I used WinUAE to install CGX V4). The permissions just keep getting buggered up and I have no idea why.

Anyway, problem solved for now thank you.

of course even CSPPCs firmware can be updated

Done it a couple of times, I think the oldest firmware didn't even have the early CSPPC  startup setup.
