I had the flagship BlizzardPPC 240/060/50. I ended up selling it over 10 years ago.

The nicest thing about it was the ability to add Bvision and later g-rexx.

The whole PowerUP vs WarpOS thing was really was really big fiasco, and the PPC was not a huge speedup over the 060. Using the PPC bins always seemed to make the amiga more prone to random crashes...

For me it was just an expensive MP3 player. I guess now you have OS 4.1 classic that I did not have back then...

The biggest letdown was FusionPPC never working on Blizzard.

That is why this time around I went for the 1260.

I agree, wish they'd just stuck with 060's (eventually got them up to a reliable 100Mhz) with tons of RAM and fast on-board SCSI.   Couple that kind of CPU card with a decent 3D PC graphics card and you'd have had a very respectable system for most of the 90's.
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!
