Thank you, I am quite happy with it, even though I am using the stock 50 MHz frequency and my rev6 060 would support higher frequencies.

The accelerator I am using is a brand new TerribleFire 1260 [1] that provides 128 MB of Fast Mem as well. You can order one today from several makers, but the card comes without the 060, so you have to buy one elsewhere and plug into the card.

That's right. I wanted to boot using the custom bootblock but AmigaOS 3.2 kickstart ROM will fail to load it (working nicely on 3.1), so I use the runbootblock utility from a custom startup-sequence. I know I can use the loadbsd as well, it is nice to have both options :)

Carlos
