FS: Blizzard PPC 603e+

[Cirdan]

Hi all,

I'm selling my Blizzard PPC 603e+ (SCSI, 040@25 603e@160)  with 32+16 MB of RAM. I'm testing the waters here, and I'll put it on  eBay unless there's someone who's willing to buy it at a reasonable  price already here. The only price indication I have is that a nearly  identical card (with 64 MB of RAM and a new fan) sold for £490 last  week.

As I recall, I bought my card in 1998 and used it for  several years before I gradually stopped using my A1200T. When I took  the computer out of storage last year I decided to use it mostly for  gaming, and switched over to my old 1230 Mk IV, so the PPC card was left  over. The card was still working fine when I tested it a few months  ago, though it's time to change the battery and possibly the fan.

Included  with the card is the cable that lets you have a SCSI connector at the  back of the A1200, plus an adapter from the micro ribbon connector, via  Centronics, to the large 50-pin ribbon connector found on internal SCSI  devices.

Is this still available?  If so I am interested.  

It is! I've been too busy/lazy to put it on eBay or anything like that. I'll send you a message so we can sort out the details.

Do you want to sell it for a reasonable price or 490 quid?  You can't do both....

You're probably right, considering how ridiculously inflated prices  can be on eBay. Also, the card that sold for £490 had more RAM than mine  and, as I recall, a brand new fan (not that there's anything wrong with  the one on my card, but it's probably been running for 3-4 years in  total and they don't last forever).

Since nobody's made an actual  offer, I'll put the card up on eBay when I have time. Let potential  buyers define 'reasonable'. Might go cheap, considering that now is  probably a bad time to sell, but there's no point in me keeping  something that I don't plan to use.
