I recently replaced the GVP 33MHz '030 combo card in my A2000 with a 
Tek Magic 50MHz '060 board.  Made a very nice speed increase ;)

However, I've not been able to get ShapeShifter to boot on the '060 yet.
I have SS 3.4 registered, 1M Mac roms from a Quadra 700, and Mac OS 7.5,
all of which ran perfectly on the '030 and on my '040 A4000.  What do I
need to do to get this running on the '060 now?

So far, I've managed to get the "Happy Mac" displayed once before the 
Amiga Gurued.  Usually everything hangs up long before that point, the 
gray screen will appear and the Mac mouse pointer appears before the 
power light starts blinking and the Amiga needs to be rebooted.
I get the same if I use the Picasso mode or the Amiga display modes.
I've tried deleting the PRAM file, various memory settings, from 1720K to 
letting SS use the  largest free block (6580K), tried booting from the Mac 
partition, tried disabling SCSI and hard drive altogether and booting from 
floppy (HD), but nothing has worked.  Even tried SS 3.2 and 3.3, still no 
luck.  Also tried disabling the caches on the '060 and removing the OS 3.1 
rom image from ram.

At the moment, contiguous memory may be a problem as I have 3 GVP 4M SIMMS
and 1 72-pin 4M SIMM installed which gives me one 8M block of contiguous
memory.  I had a brief chance to install and use a set of matched 16M SIMMS 
on the board which made a 32M block of contiguous 32 bit fast ram but SS 
refused to work with that combination also.

What have other '060 owners had to do to get SS working on your systems?
Any suggestions on what else I can try on my system?

Thanks in advance,
