Blizzard PPC + BVision in desktop A1200 Case
« on: June 26, 2005, 04:41:53 AM »
Just wondering if anyone (Im sure SOMEONE out there has at some stage) has ever attempted to install both a Blizzard PPC card and a BVision card into an A1200 Desktop case.

I already own a VERY high spec Peg/Mos 1.4.5 system, in a huge aluminum Thermaltake Tower case..... but for this project I wish to keep everything within the confines of the original A1200 case.

I know I will need extra cooling, heatsinks, fans etc.... so I am looking for advice from anyone who may have attempted such a project in the past.

Any advice/information would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, BTW - It has 3.1 roms, and Im about to install a Subway USB card too, so I assume I will have to suppliment the A1200 MB with extra 5 and 12 volt supplies.....

The internal HD is a 2.5" 10 GB Fujitsu and the internal floppy drive is a HD unit.....oh and 2 x 64 MB sticks of ram are fitted to the Blizzard PPC.

I have several spare A500 PSUs to replace the (assumed) inadequate A1200 PSU.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the info guys, will help immensely.

Another question though, if I use an AT/ATX PSU, lets say a 300watt unit....

What amperage on the 12v and 5v lines can each molex connector provide? Or are they all unregulated and can draw what they require up to the total capacity of the PSU?

Also, I take it the A1200 does not receive any clock tick signals etc from the PSU? Or strange (ie 3v etc) voltage lines.....just neutral, 12v+ and 5v+?
