My A4000 working !!!!

Go here:

The top .lha file is what u need. Extract to Libs, the following files only:

68040old.library
68040new.library
68040.library

Easy peasy.

There are also other versions kicking around. The link above is v46.5 whereas the link from Aminet below is v44.3

Dunno about the Demo Version of v46.00. I'd stay clear tbh.

Different versions of Libs can cause instabilities or enhancements depending on what you run at the time. Tbah, the 040 range of processor cards had all sorts of different issues, just because they were 040 CPU's. 060 CPU's had a much better time and were more backwards capable than the 040 ever was. At the same time & most unfortunately, the 060 CPU's got kicked big time, particularly on FPU calculations. 040 mayhem in the day was almost the demise of Motorola 680xx based CPU's all together, yet everyone was crying out for the 060 to put everything right. It sort of did, but the Die hard need For Speeders were running progs like Oxyron:

to get as much as they could from their expensive investment. Then all the Die hard Need For Speeders were gagging for 68080. It never happened....

Thanks mate,
but do i only need to copy it to Libs folder? How the workbench knows there they exist there?
No need for a path update? nothing in startup-sequence? Does workbench look at libs and use what's inside that folder?

And what a hell is that Oxyron patch? what kind of patch you have to pay for??

Congrats on your new A4000 mate. I never installed that Oxyron patch to tell the truth, but AfAOS is great (if you have the power). ;-)

Yes, just copy them to your Libs folder. 040 Routines will make the necessary calls for those Libraries & use them when needed, without the need for any mods to StartupSequence or User-Startup. You can add lines in either to turn the CPU Cache on using switches such as /DATABURST etc, but if you start modding the StartupSequence, you have to put them after the Setpatch line iirc. Not 100% on this exactly & don't have anything to play with to re-suss it out, ....sorry.

Oxyron Patch is only really needed if you want to optimize your FPU calculations. 040 CPU's can make some use of the prog iirc, but the 060 acrhitecture really packs a wallop on FPU calculations with this running in the background. Phase5 also had their own version of Oxyron called Cyberpatcher. This is available on the Phase5 link above via their System Disk.
