Hi. I am a new proud owner of TF4060 and have it stuffed into A3000D (with other stuff like CV64, X-Surf100, ZuluSCSI, SB11, WD8, kick3.2). Been waiting this setup for years :mrgreen: I am on the 4252a06 FW. However, what I am experiencing is HDD corruption while writing, specifically with longer files when copying from HDD to HDD. Reading from HDD and copying from RAM to HDD has been fine. Just wondering from which corner to start debugging the thing...

Can you clarify which drive you are having issues with? the onboard IDE or ZuluSCSI?

Internal SCSI + 32G SD. I have nothing attached to onboard IDE at the moment.

I have done a bit more around this. I update the tf4060 FW to the latest (1c48879), updated the ZuluSCSI to the latest and switched to a different 4GB SD card & vendor. The outcome is that the setup is now unstable :O Cannot say if the SCSI issues are now due to SCSI or system just crashing. I suspect the latter.. and I am leaning towards a heat issue. I'll do some more testing.

Stephen,

any news or updates? Do you still plan to improve the Chip-Ram access speed, as it is currently, from my perspective, the only remaining issue with the card?

Thanks and BR,

Oliver

When i have an update this is the first place i'll post. I've been forced back to the office 5 days a week now so progress is slow.

Hello, I'm new to the Exxos forums and am freshly returning to the Amiga scene after a long absence. I'm running a freshly purchased ReAmiga 4000 CR and TF4060 accelerator, both purchased from Chucky. I'm also running the TF360 disk image for the OS as is recommended on the TF4060 install page.

I wanted to report a glitch I'm seeing with Alien Breed SE where the background tiles become corrupted after walking around the level for a few minutes. The glitches don't occur if I remove the TF accelerator and run on the onboard 68030 CPU. The WHDLoad package says it supports an 060 CPU with caches enabled.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to try with configuration changes, etc.

Have you tested your software setup in winuae with an 060?

No graphics glitching with Alien Breed SE with WinUAE set for an Amiga 4000 with 68060 CPU, MMU, No FPU (which matches the LC CPU in my TF), 256 megs of 32-bit chip RAM, Kickstart 3.1 ROM running the TF CD32_060 hard drive image.

If I overlooked any WinUAE settings that need to be changed to match the TF4060, let me know and I'll retest.
