A3000D and A3630

[oguzog]

Please enlighten me. I do have an;

A3000D /16Mhz
Buster 11.
A3630.

When i try to run dopus or amidock it says "need version 37 of mathieesingbas.library"

What can i do? If i change jumpers all i got is black screen. My A3630 has no fpu by the way.

Probably the A3000's ROM has a version of this math library that accesses the FPU, since all A3000's have an FPU by default.
Since you bypassed the onboard CPU/FPU combo with the A3630, you must install an FPU on the A3630 to fully mimic the expected A3000 config.
Revert to the onboard chips to verify this.

If you take your A3630 out and revert the jumpers your A3000 won't boot? Are you sure you got all the jumpers back? On a 16MHz A3000 there are a couple of extra jumpers that need to be set/reset.

Options.
- find and install an FPU onto the A3630
- I think I read somewhere that there is a replacement or patch for the mathieesingbas.library that doesn't have the FPU calls in it.

Tried every combination. And it seems a3630 needs fpu installed (as you mentioned).

I will find one and try again later.

Thanks everyone.

... the 3630 will not give your A3000 much of an advantage - the CPU is only an EC type (usually) .. which means it lacks the MMU
and your FPU on the card is missing as well ...whereas your A3000-Mainboard hosts a "full" 68030 (with MMU) and a working 68881 FPU ..

the clock for the CPU will be taken from your mainboard - so the 3630 will only run with 16MHz..

the only difference is the FPU (68882) and clock of it on that card - this may be slightly higher... but the benefit of it is quiet small and only noticeable when it comes to FPU calculations (most games will not profit from it).

-> i would like to know why you are having problems with math..libraries if remove the cpu-card? maybe your onboard FPU has some problems?
