I don't know if anyone else picked up on this?  There's a guy in Germany selling off several '060 based PPC cards.

Do a quick find for "RolandGeiger".

I've been back and forth with emails and he seems ok.  The only problem is that he doesn't have a paypal account so I'd have to find some other way to pay.

Does anyone think I shouldn't trust this guy?  I've noticed the problems with buying PPC cards on Amibench over the past few months.

Cheers.

To be honest with you, I think you should get an AmigaONE or Pegasos, rather than waste money of this very old, horribly out of date Amiga Hardware.

I would even recomend a Cheap modern PC + WinUAE over a PPC accel for an Amiga.

He has just recieved my money, and he said he is going to send me the card either today or tomorrow. Hopefully i should get it in the coming weeks, and my Amiga could be repaired, here's hoping for a happy ending. :-) Anyone else got any updates?

Cheers,

You are welcome to send me your old, dead PPC if you like.

@bloodhound,

Yeah. I may start a bidding war and post the sale on Amiga.org. Not expecting too much money. But want as much as i can, as i am a college student. I will be honest and say it has signs of over heating.

Cheers,

I never said I'd pay for it!! :-D

OK, on the assumption that my card will arrive sometime in the near future, can anyone confirm the type of SIMMs the BPPC/060 will accept.

Am I right in thinking the standard, double-sided 72-pin SIMMs (EDO and/or FPM) are OK?

Cheers,

JaX

yup

I remember seeing quite a few posts about people saying that their card died from using EDO SIMMs (but were ok again if they changed back to FPM) but it happened over time.

Do either the BPPC or the CSPPC take advantage of EDO SIMMs or do they just ignore the extra features anyway?

I've only ever used EDO simms in my Blizzards. They just ignore any "extra" features.

Maybe you guys should have clubed together, and bought them as a complete lot, through a contract...

[bloodline]

Don't panic guys!!! I'm sure it will all be fine in the end... right who's up for a sing song?

[bloodline]

Hey guys!! I've got 20 new BlizzPPC 060/240 cards o sell for £100 each. If you could just just put the money directly into my "special" bank account in the Cayman Islands, that would be great... and the cards will be shipped as soon as possbile*





ok... now will some one phone the guy?

If you guys club together and pay my air fare (+two nights in a 4star hotel), I'll vist the chap and have it out with him for you!

And you running off with more of the guys' money eh? ;-)

Since it seems so easy to get money out of them, I thought I'd have a go :-D

That's just mean.

It'll probably be funny after a while, but right now it's a pretty cold comment.

Hmmm, yeah. good point. :-(

But until they actually phone this guy and find out what's happening, it's still quite a funny situation... Ican't help thinking "The A.org Team".. now who wants to be BA? :-)

For what? Scamming 10 people out of their money?
