Title: FA: Blizzard A1230 Mk-IV + RAM
Post by: tokyoracer on May 13, 2008, 09:42:00 AM
An excellent working  Phase 5 Blizzard A1230 Mk-IV for sale (with RAM), In excellent working condition. Has a 50Mhz 030 on board (no FPU), good for running OS3.9 and some of them more complicated demos. Virtual GP and Doom should also work on it too. It's also good for AGA games, improving the speed thus improving gameplay.
Make me offers and if we can agree a price then it could be yours! First come first served.
It has its original box (somewhere) but no instructions or that card that goes around the outside of the box. I think the manual can be downloaded somewhere anyway.

PM here or post if you are intrested!

UK only: PayPal, Cheque, Postal Order.
Europe & Worldwide: PayPal.

Thanks for looking! :-)

P.s. Will consider swaps.

There may be a sticker on the module saying the speed in nano seconds.  It's likely 70ns or 60ns and I think EDO is usually 50ns.

Well, I wouldn't mind some kinda swap...But all I have to offer is heaps of PC hardware and a few A500 bits - Modulators, manuals, plus (Maybe, and only maybe) a fully boxed and believed to be fully working A500 with manuals, mouse, modulator, PSU, and 512K onboard RAM hack.

On the RAM front, no idea what size or speed it is, I believe it's 32Mb but could be wrong.

Looking up the RAM on the OEM number or MFG P/N in Google yielded this (http://www.tavi.co.uk/ps2pages/ohland/MemoryReference.htm) where it says it's a 2MB 85ns RAM module

Easy way to tell: Power up the Amiga with the accelerator, see how much memory it says is available in Workbench. Take out accelerator, see how much memory Workbench reports. Subtract.

Il get round to looking about the size of it, thanks for the info on the "NS". Just to add, if I dont get much more intrest then it could be up on the old fleaBay.

 Sorry for the thread kidnapping, but EDO is always 60ns. Not a single unit 50 nor 70ns.

@rkauer

That's not true, EDO chips may be faster, my Picasso4 uses 45ns EDO chips and some modules support 50ns (so they are perfect for overclocked 060 chips)
