My BPPC 040 to 060 upgrade

DDNI · 25 May 2007, 20:35

Okay! i got my BPPC back from PG in Sweden.

Just wanted to share with you all the SUPERB work that he did. The quality of the soldering is FANTASTIC.

He desoldered my 040, soldered a perfectly fitting Socket. Installed a lovely 68060 with mask 71E41J, added a socket for the oscillator, changed multiplier to keep PPC speed unchanged but 060 speed at 64mhz and flashed the firmware. Tested the board and posted it back - insured.

Need to add a heatsink and fan to 060 then she gets fired up...

great news!!!!
my rev2 DCE bppc also had a socketed real 060/60 mhz!

@DDNI
Fantastic Job indeed!!!

I should really post picies of the job JJB did on my 060 its was a complete rescue... its a shame i didn`t take a pic of it before it went for repairs... i honestly thought it was a gonner....

So who can tell me what magic libraries and apps I need to set up in order to get the most from this puppy???

It shouldnt need one at 64MHz but if you want one

DDNI · 25 May 2007, 21:34

Yes including the 060!

Now which version of 68060.library is recommended. Do I need Cyberpatcher/oxypatcher?

Yeah, Per Gunnar does great jobs, he did my two BPPC's

You should use the latest libs found here http://phase5.a1k.org/files/040_060Libs.zip

Cyberpatcher is fine but Oxypatcher is suppose to be slightly better

Bamiga2002 · 25 May 2007, 23:57

What? Where? How?

So, how can one send a turbo board to Per Gunnar for modding? Who is he? What's his email address for instance? Would like to know just in case please.

Mad-Matt · 26 May 2007, 00:33

the cpu libs should be in the firmware of the bppc

Cyberpatcher will be best suited to the phase5 libs.

DDNI · 26 May 2007, 10:23

Ta Mad-Matt. I just plopped the card in and it worked...!

Now where to find Cyberpatcher...

any help out there???

edit: Found it here. http://phase5.a1k.org/index.php?id=1

now go register WarpDT !

and remember to disable cachebility of the Chip-Memory , with the ChipNoCache option in whdload.prefs... if u don't disable it, u will get major slowdowns!

also DDNI, make some PM space man!

Nice, almost makes U wanna go looking for dead ones on Ebay...

DDNI · 15 March 2008, 17:06

Downloaded Cyberpatcher, unpacked it, DBL click on Cyberpatcher.... Is that it running?

DJBase · 15 March 2008, 17:18

Put it into WBStartup folder. It runs in background.
