"Does anyone know of an Amiga user with a working DCE CSPPC card?"
answer : ME!
I have and use heavily a DCE factored CyberStorm PPC 233 - 68060/50 AND CyberVision PPC 8Mb with no problems at all since 1998 in my A4000D.
the only things I made immediately after purchase to it was :
- replace the bad quality PPC cooling fan (40x40mm, 1cm height, hooked on the dissipator with two plastic "things") by a 2cm height top class one hold on with four metalic screws.
- add a dissipator/fan combo to the 68060, albeit not really necessary as I haven't overclocked it :-)
- all fans are powered directly by the power supply (not by the ppc card anymore)
- I used dissipating grease between the two cpu and their dissipators (electronic one, high effiency, not conductive)
- looked for cold solders (found only one on the scsi chip)
- modifyed the intake holes (internals) of the power supply (commodore original one) to increase air flow.
- the four 32 Mb simms are all the same (model/brand/speed)
that's all :-D
I'm pretty happy of my card since nearly five years of flawlessly fonctionning now :-)
My A4000D (manufactured may 1992) is full (NO space/slots lefts in it) and run COOL has ice (yes yes) even after 24hours being on :-)
