#Cyberstorm Compatible?

Dale,
<< Life under x86? Puh-lease. Make it PPC.>>
As an aside, have you heard about any specific Amiga software programs that
have been found to have compatibility problems with the Cyberstorm 060 board.
We are struggling with the decision to either go with an 060 or pick up an 040
accelerator like the 50mz Sonnet.

No. I've heard of about three people who have the board, though.
Wait, yes, I know software that won't work. Anything that depends on the MMU.
Enforcer. Virtual memory stuff. Unix. Some math stuff might be affected to
(some tries to use the FPU directly, and I'm not sure if they kept the 040
FPU).

Why won't software using 040 MMU functions work on the 060, Dale? Likewise, why
won't FPU instructions work? I think they're the same as 040, but please
educate me if I'm mistaken.
FPU stuff might be the same, I'm not sure. I think it was MKS who told me that
the MMU stuff had all changed for the 060, the way it had for the 040 (Mike did
040.library, so he ought to know what he is talking about).

Dale, thanks for the info – I hope someone has made a SOLID 060.library as
there were various versions of 040.library before it got straight. I'd like to
try a couple benchmarks on an 060 – just happen to have a FractalPro benchmark
image which very precisely tests for raw processor-only FPU speed (and what
else matters these days, anyway?).
