Nothing wrong with that auction.  She's being totally honest and saying it doesn't work.  Unlike many sellers who'll sell broken stuff as "untested, no returns".

She's obviously bought it as faulty from the previous owner and attempted to get it to work, failed, and so is now selling it on.

Maybe someone could buy it and send it to Amiga Center France.

I'm sure that Amiga Center in France can fix the 060 side, however I am also more than sure that the PPC side will be dead and beyond repair. The card has no fan over the 604e heatsink, which almost guarantees a dead PPC side, as only a few minutes without active cooling could be deadly for the hot 604e CPU on CSPPC cards.


Maybe they could pick up an old 604e from a used Mac for $10 and get a company who does BGA reworking (DCE ?) to attach the CPU to the CSPPC.  It would be expensive but still cheaper than a new CSPPC.  While they're at it, they could even get a faster one installed (I think the 604e went up to 350 or 400Mhz?).
