Title: FS: Apollo 1260, Indivision AGA, IDE-Fix Express
Post by: mikolas on February 17, 2011, 09:48:52 PM
Hi.

After a hiatus I'm dumping more of my old Amiga hardware:

Apollo 1260 accelerator for Amiga 1200
I have soldered a second SIMM slot for a total of 64 MB FAST ram (32+32). Comes with 64MB of memory and a few crystals of different clock speeds. Got this working stable w/ 60MHz and even 64MHz. Have been running the default 50MHz though. NOTE: You will have difficulties fitting this into standard desktop case due to second SIMM slot. Dunno if it fits without memory module inserted as I do not have any standard case to test this with. Asking price 300EUR. Shipping to most European countries should be in 15-20EUR range when insured.

SOLD: Indivision AGA flickerfixer
Good as new, have been in use only some hours really. Works perfectly. Asking price 120EUR. Same shipping and handling costs as the Apollo card.

Amiga 1200 motherboard, rev. 1D.4
Fully working, booted up a few times (bought as a spare if my "main" board fails). Board only, with replaced mouse port ribbon cable. Asking price EUR50. S&H needs separate quote due to the size of the package. In 20-25EUR range I'd guess.

SOLD: IDE-Fix Express w/ Express adapter
Fully working. Don't have any driver disks and such. Asking price: 40EUR. S&H as previous.

Please, do ask for exact quotes for S&H. The items are located in Tampere, Finland. Payments accepted via PayPal. I will keep these here over the weekend and then ditch them to eBay as I need to get rid of this stuff to clean up my home office.

PS. I have a broken BPPC@210/060@50 card for sale as well if anyone wants to take a risk :-)

Hi!

I'm interested in the IDEFix Express and maybe the Indivision AGA, going to PM :afro:

Also some questions in PM about the BPPC...

Hey no fair Steve, you beat me to it :(

I'm after an IDEFix Express myself so if you buy it maybe you could do the decent thing and lend it to me for a couple of years?

Get a FastATA Mk III instead. They are MUCH better.

They are better as you said but it's almost per case and per hard drive.
FastATA can lead to nice headbanging and there are many cases that worked like a charm with nice boost and other cases that busted your b@lls.
I had that card and I was very happy, but on 2/3 HD's of mine couldn't go beyone PIO3 which suxed tonz. On the 1/3 HD it was working really cool... go figure.

It's a nice piece of hardware but very unstable imho.
Idefix Express on the other hand, it's not as fast but a lot more stable and works like charm on all environments.

No they are a pain in the butt, the Express is pretty much plug-and-play ;)

I got somewhere around 5MB/s sec with the Express... plenty fast enough for 3.1 and WHDLoad... LOL!

I'd like to see what someone with one of the new ACA 56Mhz 1200 cards gets with an Express, should be really good (FAST CHIPRAM ACAtune option enabled).

I don't recall having any issues with my old one, but it was around 6 years ago.

About the BPPC. I already replied a couple of PMs about this, but let's copypaste it here also.

There are several symptoms, probably all of them power related or in best case just bad / oxidation in connectors:

1) Gives red screen when powering on the computer, when entering kickstart. You can get to the card settings (ESC while powering on), but get red screen on kickstart (checksum error). Kickstart chips are flawless so this probably is caused by the remapping to fast ram before entering kickstart.

2) Sometimes does not show up at all, nothing in the expansion cards list of kickstart. Unplug/replug usually fixes this, even better with warming up the card first.

3) When it worked perfectly, had some SCSI issues. While SCSI works, resetting SCSI-bus (when scanning the bus in HDToolbox for example) hangs to OS.

That's pretty much it. Red screen problems showed up when the card was unused 6 months or so, unplugged from the computer, before that everything worked great apart from the SCSI problem. And by the way, it's 603e+ with 210MHz PPC and 50 MHz 060, latest rev. with full MMU/FPU.

These are really expensive @ eBay, but since this is buyers risk basically, I'd depart from the card for 300€ since I do not have time to play with it my self. It's steep I know, but if you get it fixed you could easily get over 700€ for the card.

@mikolas,
300EUR is too much for me for this defective card.
100% ok BPPC (well with 040 and without SCSI) was sold for 325EUR few days ago on eBay.
 
Thanks.
