Cyberstorm PPC Test

[amiga1084]

Hello All,

I just got Cyberstorm PPC card for my second A4000T, the card works great on the 060 side, but I want to test PPC side of the card. Do you guys and girls know of a simple program that can test the PPC side in Workbench 3.9.

Thanks in advance,
Merv Stent

Sure, this is quoted from the Hyperion Blog article which I have just published...

3) Verify your PPC processor is working

AmigaOS 4.1 for Classics requires that all of your hardware is fully functioning.  That means that your PowerPC CPU must be operational.   Some of you may not even know if the PPC chip is actually working.  There is an easy way to test this.  You can download the PPC-Test floppy disk from here: http://powerup.amigaworld.de/index.php?lang=en&page=24.  This is a floppy disk that you can boot from  to test the operation of the PowerPC CPU.  Both tests should come back with "OK" if the PPC CPU is working.

You may already have AmigaOS 4.0 or AmigaOS 3.9 installed.  AmigaOS 3.9 came with optional PowerPC support.  If your existing PowerPC applications are working then you will be fine.
