Removing the motherboard fastRAM did not improve on the situation unfortunately. It still crashes with the same error.

Ok. its simply impossible for me to support all the hardware variations possible so i would recommend contacting chucky and returning the card. There will be no issues with this.

I find that position completely reasonable and as I mentioned, the hardware combination I have cooked up for myself is quite a bit over the top and I really had no huge hopes of getting it to work in the first place and I absolutely do not expect anyone to support it. I wouldn't. :)

Having said that, if there is any further diagnostic information that can be gleaned from my particular issue that may or may not be of use in improving the TF4060 I am happy to try and collect it.

I do have a Zorro RTG card hopefully incoming in December and with that I will have a less esoteric and irritable rig that hopefully agrees better with the TF4060 so no need to return anything.

I've tested the mediator and firebird pci cards. I would need to actually have the same board as you to dig in and look at whats going on. I have some ideas but really cant do anything without one.

Steve,

any news of planned updates (Chip-Ram and memory / bus performance)?

If you need a helping hand, I can offer this to you, I would even be willing to sign an NDA just to make you feel comfortable that your design wont get into the hands of counterfeit producers.

The TF4060 has the potential of becoming, by far, the best 68060 accelerator produced for the A3000/4000, it just needs some "nudges" here and there to make that diamond really shine. ;-)

Thanks and BR,

Oliver
