The 68040.library 392 bytes is a dummy library.

If Vesalia will not send you the right library, mail me that i'll send to you.

About the pictures:

I have to say that HW is not looking very professional. For example that soldering on the board is not looking too good, nor the voltage module.

But, hey, if it works and is cheap, I guess it's ok.

IMHO that boards are reworked Apollo boards.

Never seen in my life, a so bad patches and resolder.

Anyway, is cheaper than a Blizzard . . .  .aarghh!! damned DCE!!! they worked so well!

Ah, I copied the 040dummy over the 040 one and now everything works fine:)

Sysspeed says:
73.36 MIPS
29.38 MFLOPS

It also says that the manufacturer is Apollo.

Hi, a friend of mine, has recived the same card from Vesalia today.

He wish to know, which kind of SIMM have you installed.

He tryed a couple that doesn't works (16MB FPM and 32 MB EDO 2K refresh).

The only working SIMM is a FPM 4MB 1K refresh.

Ciao

PS- Pay attention! instal a fun cooler on the overclocked CPU as soon as possible.

@BADHead

you should take in consideration, the difference in price!

A Blizzard 1260 costs near twice.

Ciao

PS- i agree with you about better construction.

By the way . . .i have interviewed a guy here in Italy, that own a radio station and has its CyberStormPPC (P5) working from 1998 24/7.
The only component that has replaced, is the original CPU fan cooler!!!

The Viper of the friend of mine (oldfab) is worse of yours!

It has the same patches and some capacitors, are bad soldered . . . 100% sure, recycled boards.

Ciao

PS- i don't like the way undertaken from Vesalia lately.
They already has, AOS4 for BlizzardPPC and for CSPPC in theyr price lists . . .and NOT like preordering !!!

@oldfab

The pdf doc is the wrong one.

The MT 4C16M4H9 chips are on:

http://download.micron.com/pdf/datasheets/dram/D22_2.pdf

This is the right one. The chips are a EDO page mode 4K refresh 16x4M at 50 ns. They works at 3,3 volts ! ! !

So . . .Viper needs custom SIMMs?

Ciao

NOTE- the PDF file speaks of a LC model: MT 4LC16M4H9

Not likely, Vesalia sells the same SIMMs "for Blizzard SCSI kit, 1260/50T, Blizzard PPC and all Viper accelerator boards"

Oh! Vesalia sells AmigaOS4 for BizzardPPC also :-D

As you just said . . . .Vesalia sells . . .

Ciao

@fragment

the same old story!

Vesalia is a very good Amiga reseller, maybe the best in Europe, but they sells and then . . .stop. Vesalia post-sells assistance, doesn't exists.

Mail them that there is a thread here about theyr post-sells service.

Ciao
