Blizzard PPC Upgrade 040 to 060 Flash questions.
« on: February 11, 2010, 11:32:09 AM »
Hi everybody,
i'm an old/new amiga user, i bought same time ago a blizzard ppc 200-04/25 and now it's time to change the 040 with the "new" 060 (the 060 at that time has been my greatest dream).

My question is:
when i have to flash the bios, Before change the cpu or After?

In this site say before:

In this site say after:
http://translate.google.fr/translate?u=http://obligement.free.fr/articles/blizzard040060.php&sl=fr&tl=en&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8

so i'm confused, could someone plese tell me for sure if i have to flash before or after the rework?

Many many thanks.

sorry for my bad english.

Ok, many thanks ZeBeeDee!

So:

1. Change CPU
2. Chage 68K Selector to 060
3. Change Voltage Selector to 3.3v
4. In my case leave the 040 50MHz oscillator(should be perfect for my new 060 50Mhz)
5. Flash with the 060 bios.

For flash have i to boot from floppy?
Which is the last 060 flash file i have to use?

Thanks.

I did it!!!!!!!!!

060 running under my Amiga!!!!!!!

The hardest thing was unsold the 040 pins under the memory slot especially the last in the corner.

A dubt: the flashing process taken about 30 seconds instead 30 minutes (i readed in the various sites) but everithig seems to be ok, it's normal?

Thank to everybody for the help.
