Powering BlizPPC thru Floppy P/S

[Karlos]

Are you talking about powering the fan or what?

Whatever you do, dont pump current INTO the blizzard via the fan connector from any unregulated source - CSPPC users that did that regretted it.

To ensure you have enough juicem ,ake sure your 1200 motherboad is adquately supplied. As I dont have a PCI bus expander, I opted to use the original connector and the floppy header to feed power into the 1200 motherboard and my system runs fine, and thats with the BVision + 256Mb.

I saw a little two pronged connector on the back of the blizz and assumed that this was where extra power could be supplied via the floppy power cable.

Now I assume that this is actually the original power cable for the fan, right.

Thats where the fan was powered from originally. Dont push power in through there. You can kill your blizz in a second if there is any fluctuation in voltage from your PSU.

Since youre using the mediator to power everything, it should have sufficient power already.

Someone tried exactly what you were thinking on the CSPPC and killed it.
