selling up

[doctorq]

If I were you I would either split it up, or get the system working correctly. If you split, I think only the Blizzard PPC and BVision will fetch any real money, so if you don't want to have any parts left after selling, then you should sell as a lot.

Personally I could only use the BPPC + BVision. Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with it???

I can see the problem if you haven't gotten any soldering skills, otherwise the power issue is an easy fix. Cooling shouldn't be a big issue either.

As for games compatibility, have you tried WHDLoad? It fixes most problems with old games not working on newer CPUs. And DOpus it should run without any problems if it's correctly installed :-)

He, if I was around your area I would help you out, but it's really not that difficult to set it up. Get someone to modify the Blizzard PPC board for you to get the extra power needed, buy some heatsinks and fans for the BVision and it should be pretty straight forward from this point with software installation.

You need to attach the heatsinks with special glue made for this particular purpose. I use something called Artic silver IIRC.

Regarding the extra power, you attach it where the fan gets it's power from. Find an Y power lead, snip one of the connectors of and take one +5V and one GND and solder to the fan connector. Remember to attach the wires to the right place (+5V to the +5V lead and GND to GND, otherwise you will blow the card). And don't use +12V, it will blow the thing up as well. Remeber to still feed the fan on the Blizzard board, there are several ways of doing so.

And yes, if it is a SCSI version, it does make a difference, as these boards needs more power on boot up than non-SCSI boards. I hope it helps you out, and if you can't do the soldering yourself, then get someone else to do it :-)
