What memory range are You using? Should be in $08000000- $0FFFFFFF i think... πŸ€”
I dont use a fixed memory range. Its done by the OS. Its normally allocated to 0x40000000 - 0x47ffffff.

Have checked Amiga Memory map, and noticed not all regions are fee to use:

If You allocate 128MB in 0x40000000 - 0x47ffffff this will probably not work, since this area is Reserved for motherboard RAM expansion, You need to try from $10000000 then...

Like i've said. I'm not allocating the ram there. Its done by Autoconfig. The RAM is given a base address by the operating system. Exactly the same thing happens with the Blizzard and it works.

This is not correct. The range you said and the diagram you posted say its ZIII expansion area. Which is exactly what is happening.

Ah, ok,
was under impression that this address space is reserved for Motherboard ram, hence it makes trouble if it's more than 64MB...

No its 0x4000_0000 that we have the board at. The expansion area you are talking about is 0x0400_0000

Ok I have not had time to muck about with this in the last couple of days, anyways, I realized like the dumbass that I am that I had not got the 060 lib installed on my own OS_39..Doh

So I dropped the 060 into libs took the 040 one out and yatzi bingo, its now seeing and working fine on my CD32 with 128mb and a Dual OS, on which I have installed OS 39 and OS 3.1 ( I just use HDtoolbox to swap the sys boot to which one I want to use ), oh this was using a Kingston 8gb CF with PFSaio filesytem

I can`t try the A1200 till tomorrow will report back then

Mine has MMUlib in it and it made no difference. :/

Just got an email from @chucky trying out @supaduper's latest image.

So when you say updates you mean BB2 updates?

And still the puzzle is that your test OS39 does work on mine all very puzzling
