Blizzard PPC 603e/240, 060/50

[jonssonj]

I have just ordered this item from www.vesalia.com. I have heard that you must have a fan to this board.

1. What type of fan should I go for?

2. Where can I buy one?

3. How do I connect the fan?

4. Is there something else I should think about when I connect this board to my A1200?

5. What memory type is working on this board?

Thanks in advance!

Hello and thanks for your reply!

My A1200 is towered and I have added a lot of hardware to it. My spec are as follows:

A1200 in a tower
Blizzard 1230 wo FPU will be replace with the BPPC card.
Fast ATA controller from Elbox.
PC keyboard converter.
Samsung CD-RW
HD Floppy drive
Pcmcia ethernet, will be replaced by a pci network card
10 GB Harddrive
Mediator SX
Voodoo 4 4500 graphics card
Terratec Sound card TT 512i

Softwares that I recently have bought is
Storm C 3.0
Ibrowse 2.3
Samba
Final Writer
Quake 2

I started with my A1200 and a Blizzard 1230/50MHz for several years ago. Now when i can afford it, I want all the new cool hardware for my A1200. I love Amiga and will always support Amiga and third part manufactories.

So you say I can use a 486 fan for the 060 CPU? Where can I find such a fan nowadays?

There is some items still on my buy list. I want to have USB on my Amiga. Can someone recommend me what USB controller I should go for?

Best Regards from Jörgen Jönsson

Thanks again to all of you for your answers.

Regarding the USB, I have thougt of buying the one from Elbox that doctorq recommends here

As for the USB ports, go for the Spider USB from Elbox

But for a while ago there was some problems with drivers. I can't really remember the details, but it was some sort of argue between Elbox and the one that did the drivers for the usb card. Is this solved? or was it maybe a another card?

Where do I buy the USB stack program?

Finally I have been contacted by Vesalia. They did not have the 240MHz version but they did have the Blizzard PPC 603e/210MHz with 060/50MHz and a 64MB memory module that I already have paid for. They said they will ship it on monday 8:th of March 2004. I was ruined on this card. I payed 523.85 Euro including shipping cost and the paypal fee.

But I have some more questions about this card.

Can I mix one 64MB module with a 32MB module? If I can mix, is it possible to mix different memory speeds?

Is there a significant difference in speed, between the 240MHz version and the 210MHz version PPC 603e processor?

Best regards to you all

Ok, but what about the speed difference between the 240MHz and the 210MHz version?
