Subject:Dauber's PPC hangups...

Hey there...now here's another PPC problem I'm having on my Cyberstorm...

I downloaded MAME PPC...it was asking for ppc.library 46, which does NOT
come with the Cyberstorm. I downloaded versions 46.15 and 46.19 from
Aminet. Didn't work -- I found out I need 68060.library 44, which also the
Cyberstorm didn't come with. I downloaded this, too, from Aminet...and the
Amiga wouldn't work properly.

During the startup-sequence, the Amiga would crash with version 44 of
68060.library installed....[I just copy the *.library files over to the
LIBS: directory, right? There was no documentation in the archive!]

I've found that with the "newer" 68060.library, the Amiga crashes during
this part of startup-sequence: [BTW -- the "echo" commands are for
debugging purposes; I put those in when I was getting the crashes...]

***
IF EXISTS DEVS:Monitors
IF EXISTS DEVS:Monitors/VGAOnly
DEVS:Monitors/VGAOnly
EndIF

echo "list monitors"
C:List >NIL: DEVS:Monitors/~(#?.info|VGAOnly) TO T:M LFORMAT
"DEVS:Monitors/%s"
Execute T:M
C:Delete >NIL: T:M
EndIF
***

I believe it crashes on the "execute" command.

Any suggestions? Anybody else using MAME PPC -- successfully?

OS 3.5, PFS 3, 128MB fast RAM, Picasso IV, etc.

If it'll help, here's my startup-sequence:
