WTB: Blizzard 4030
« on: June 01, 2007, 03:33:20 PM »
Subject line says it all.  I'd like a faster processor for my A3000UX, and have had a search running on eBay for a Blizzard 4030...forever.  No luck so far, so I was hoping maybe somebody here had a line on one.

Anybody know what I should expect to pay for such a card, with/without 68882?

Thanks!

The other solution might be to replace the EC030 on a Commodore 3630 with a full 030 (my 3000 is only the 16MHz model so even 25MHz would be an improvement for me). I wonder if that board could handle a 50MHz crystal?


You still have that AMIX box running?  :-)  

That's an interesting idea...do the CPUs all come surface-mounted on these?  The images I found suggest that this is the case.

I haven't seen any 3630s either but I haven't been looking...

Nope, no luck with the patch disk.  IIRC, the patches all go ok except for the kernel.  Since I *have* a patched kernel, if I could figure out how to install it (I think I stumbled across docs at one point) that should work on an HD image setup.  Without the kernel patch, a few updated utils are broken.

If I get it working, I'll definitely be posting here since the only active AMIX users I know of are here...
