Wanted: Blizzard 1260 or similar
« on: December 09, 2016, 12:15:21 PM »
Hi,

I run an A1200 24/7 for a BBS, but the accelerator card in it has failed - it seems terminal.

I'm looking for a replacement - a Blizzard 1260 or maybe Apollo 1260, possibly an '040 card would suffice at a push but the machine is in the original case and cooling can be an issue with those.
I don't need SCSI but it would be a nice-to-have feature.

I'm finding it difficult to source a suitable card.

I'm hoping for some sympathetic people to be reading.. !

If you have one you're willing to sell, please let me know what sort of money you'd be looking for and let's do a deal.

I'm located in the UK.

Have you checked Amibay? I have seen at least two or three in the past two months come and go.

The ACA1233 On amigakit.com is really not too bad... It is only an '030 40 Mhz, but the 128MB of RAM helps make up for that. It should be enough to run a BBS until something better comes along. They are right around $235 US - but I am not sure what that works out to be when you pay in Euros, or Pounds, or tea bisquits, or whatever you guys use for money... ;)

And... If it is for A BBS why not ask your users to chip in a few bucks to your paypal account? I am sure a few people would donate $5 or $10 to help a pal out!
