i guess a hard disk and KS3.1 would be a requirement too  ;-)

Yeah, PPS 040 board would be fun to see in action
I wonder how many that were sold  :roll:

You mean "smell in action". From what I've heard, the 040 gets very hot and the A500 case is pretty tight. "mmmmm.....burning plastic" ;-)

Does anybody out there have an 040 in the original A1200 case? Is a fan needed? (I'm not a fan of fans)

hehe, yeah..I guess the A500 case would get warped by the heat which almost happened to my A600 which I had an Mtec 630 in before I added a cooling fan to the case to draw out the hot air and a heatsink on the '030
The PPS '040 had a cooling fan as standard but the airflow inside the A500 is quite terrible

A good start but a towerized A500 goes still further, as my A500T in Micronik Classic Mini Tower:
A500 upgraded to ECS, Megachip2 giving 2 MB Chip, KS 2.05 +3.1 in switcher, Micronik busboard with 3 ZorroII slots and A2000 compatible CPU slot housing Blizzard 2060 clocked to 57 MHz, with 96 MB Fast atm. 4GB SCSI2 HD, 8x SCSI CD-Rom, Denise adapter to acquire PicassoIV flickerfixer - loaned to my A4000; CV3D and PicassoII+ cards, Eyetech flickerfixer + AutoMon switcher to CV3D, HD-floppy as DF0: And 2-4 MB extra RAM available on Oktagon 2008 depending on which RTG gard(s) sit in the tower. Mostly gathering dust nowadays...
I was so disappointed they shelved the Blizzard 2604 PPC board :-?
