Errrr, yeaaahhhhh.... ;) Hey Mike, your mate owes Kevin here a cheque as well

Well before I got my PPC, I had an 040/40 and it worked on that; when I got
a PPC, it made it go nuts, when I disabled Octopus - it was fine... :) BTW:
I *still* have Kickstart 3.0 (39.106) so things obviously aren't as stable as
they could be. I better upgrade them soon, otherwise I'll *never* be able to
get access to the ROM sockets. (There already buried as it is!!! :))

A lot of Emulation software requires WarpUp so that's why. :) Anyway - at least
I'll be able to know once I have used WarpUp, which is best etc.

Hmmm, I haven't got the 060 libs installed (guess why ;) so I shall try that
as well... :)

I'm sure it will, it did last time! :)
All the best,
