Upgrading an 040 to 060 - anyone know if Per Gunnar still does this?

[mfletcher]

I didnt have Per Gunnar's contact details so in the end I sent my Blizzard 1240/40 to JJB at AmigaCenter.com to be upgraded.

Just got the card back today. Top notch work, Ive got a fully working 060 in my A1200 now.

Thanks Jean!

Mark.

Hm... Sounds interesting. I have a Blizzard A2040 which is dying for a nice upgrade (ok, _I_ am, not the card).

I assume you have to find a functioning 68060 yourself if you want an 68040-based card to be upgraded?

@Jiffy,

I would email JJB @ AmigaCenter first. I sent my Blizzard 1240 on the chance he could upgrade it. Fortunately he had an 060 lying around and was able to. It might be different for your A2040 (for example, are there any other examples of people upgrading the same card).

Thanks,

Mark

Can you tell us how much did you pay ?

@Jose

140 Euros for parts and labor. I was told beforehand that it might be worthwhile just looking for another accelerator on Ebay, but in case this money wasnt a problem for me.
