What is best A1200 revision for Blizzard PPC?
« on: September 19, 2017, 12:06:50 AM »
I tried to search answer to this question and I got some ideas. However, I would like to ask here. What would be best rev. of A1200 (without anytiming fixes etc.). Are timing fixes important for Blizzard card in general, I know that Apollo had some issues (I experienced them!).

I would be happy with some links to some explanations.

Thank you!

"My personal" amiga 1200 would be the best rev. to have Blizzard card, especially if it was free/low cost. :)

Actually I don't have an A1200. :P  It would be fun to have a Blizzard or Apollo. ;)

Can't really trust revisions as its all very inconsistent.
I've had a revision 1D4 that didn't work with a BPPC, and one that worked perfectly.
Also had the same experience with a 2B motherboard...

With the 1D4 that didnt work, I tried doing the timing fixes but it changed nothing.
Other accelerators (GVP 1230 and Blizzard 1230) worked fine with it.

I have "few" A1200 around, and I'm putting all into my case so I want to get "best" possible, so I don't have to dig it out after full set up :).
