recently i`ve got blizzppc that was said to be dead. it was not detected during boot (neither at autoconfig list). after i`ve flashed the update (which took ca. 10 miutes!!!) the machine stared perfectly. anyway my flash is defective, it crashed absoultely just yesterday, now it shows red screen during poweron and does not seem to change (i`m looking for solution...). I advice you to try to re-flash your blizzard. It helped me. If your blizzy start working, and after few days refuses, you may get identical problem to mine...
