G-rex 1200 and BlizzardPPC info needed.
« on: February 02, 2004, 09:03:37 PM »
OK, @80EUR I just couldn't resist and not get a G-rex 1200 PCI busboard. I know about it not being supported anymore and all, but it is a great deal nevertheless. There's a Voodoo 3 driver, Ethernet 10Mbit, Sound, Warp3D...not bad...

Anyways, I used to own one before I sold it and my BPPC card which was of the supported revisions. It was not that bad as everyone says it is, BTW. I didn't have any trouble with it other than the lack of space for the busboard and Fast ATA 1200 controller. OK, on to my question:

I seem to have a BPPC card which is revision 0 now. I know that this revision needs to be updated to 2 (right?) in order to work with G-rex 1200, however is this an absolute must or just a recommendation?

I'll probably keep this G-rex in the corner until I find a revision 2 BPPC some day, so I could use it, in case revision 0 BPPC (and I am almost sure) is not compatible.

Upgradeable only @ DCE? And that's the end of this discussion. :-)

I would do it, but only if I was able to walk in there and wait while they do it. :-)
