I have just followed in the steps of mdma and listed a Blizzard PPC board with no reserve price on eBay. You can see the auction (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5245381673&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1) here... Happy bidding.
-
I would recommend that whoever wins that auction specifies that the item be insured and sent registered/tracked mail. I only lost 35 Euros, but I would hate to see somebody lose a couple of hundred Euros because of a postal problem.
-
Less than 8 hours left of the auction, go ahead and bid, you know you want to ;-)
-
Very very nice board. I wish i had the money to get it.... :boohoo:
-
I'm surprised it's still well below £100 with 3 hours to go.
Thought it might just've broken that barrier by now.
-
Less than 2 hours to go, and still at 56 GBP. Don't miss out on this one ladies and gentlemen.
-
If I had the money and Paypal then I'd be bidding on this to replace my BPPC040...
-
Vincent, read carefully before bidding. The worst thing doctorq needs about this auction is a misinformed bidder who didn't read the description too well.
-
@ Vincent
"..However, any ram attached to the board isn't recognised, and therefore it is not possible for me to check if the PPC CPU still works either. I have already tried to use ram sticks that is confirmed to work, but to no avail :( Therefore I can only sell this board as defective, but maybe someone with electronics skills can bring the card back to its full potential.."
----------------------------------------------------------
That's why the price stays low.
-
Current bid: £60.01 and still 42 minutes to go ...
-
@ X56
Indeed, any confusion could have been better avoided if the seller stated that the board is defective, somewhat earlier in the description...perhaps even in the short item description.
-
I have also placed a few bids, knowing very well what the problem is. :lol:
-
@ Effy
Actually, I find that perversely funny. It has made my day. Thanks for that. I had to think carefully what you mean but now I also :lol:
-
There are two options with this card :
1) have the Ram thingy fixed
2) use the processors to upgrade a BPPC 160/040 card
Both options are clearly not for beginners like me. The only experience I have is watching with admiration how a pro does it :lol:

That's exactly what I was thinking :-)
Especially that last part :-D

Sorry for being totally OT, but that avatar looks very Lovecraft...
P.S. I thought 'Vinnie' would irritate, am I right? :-)
-
Or you can use the Ram thinies of a BPPC 160/040 to repair the one in this auction :)
-
107,03 GBP ??? Not bad for a defective card !!!

It is the great Cthulhu. Just found it. It's actually on sale from somewhere as a pendant. I was actually looking for a Resident Evil pic for an avatar, but I found this one first :-)
P.S. not really :-P

doctorq: didnt´t you send this to amiga repairs in france once to get it fixed, but he could not fix it?
