Wow, weird. But good job too! Now you've still got your Apollo SCSI +
CD-ROM to sort out :) hahaha.

When I used the '040' option it seemed to make my system weird (I have an
060) so I no longer do so. Can't remember what it did now anyway :-/

Have you watched what its doing with SnoopDOS?
Also have you sorted out the WarpOS ENV terminator variable as in the
BPPCFix docs?

AMP (By AmiDOG) was good I think, and Frogger is okay ... on my 240mhz PPC
anyway. I doubt it will be that stunning on a 160Mhz thought :-/
>(PPC 160MHz (though it is reported as 175MHz?) and full XC68040 25MHz)
Which program reports this and what version of the Flash have you got
installed? There used to be a bug in the bus speed calculation IIRC.

hahahahah, should have gone for an '060, as most stuff is still 68k you
would have benefitted more :) hehe.
