I got my Blizz 030, Did i pay a good price?

[tokyoracer]

Hi, got this fully funconal blizz 30 with a scsi cable that fits at the end of the amiga ports and what i think is eather a 128 or 256mb card.
All for £40 incl. P+P
Was it a good price?

[Legerdemain]

Rather odd question, don't you think? What matters is if you consider it being a good price and if you think that you got it cheap or expensive?



Personally I think that you paid what I consider should be a rather normal price on a Blizzard 1230, especially since they are not rare in any way (I think, can't say for sure though, that they are one of the most sold acceleratorcars for the Amiga) however you haven't stated wether or not MMU and FPU are included, and/or if you have a SCSI kit (I don't really get what you are trying to say with that SCSI cable)... which of course would alter the price a little bit, as would the memory.

Sounds like a fair price.

It has the larger motorola prosessor but not the smaller one which i was told can be obtainable at a resnable price.

Hi,


See "The Big Book of Amiga Hardware" : http://www.amiga-hardware.com

LINK  "A1200 Accelerators"  and identify which accelerator you have.

You say that you have a SCSI cable for it, does that mean the accelerator has a SCSI card installed ?

If so it sounds like yes, you've got a bargain.

If you have a Phase IV Blizzard MKIV then yes again, you have a bargain.

if you don't have the scsi kit you can install only up to 64mb  of ram.

Not if it is a Blizzard 1230 MK4. It supports 128 MB ram, but it's not easy to find a module that fits without the use of a rubberband.

Sorry for the lateness of my reply, mine does support 128Mb and theres a cable that plugs in the side of it wich can be screwd in to the blanked slot at the far end of the amiga. He was going to throw in a sound card but then realised how much it was worth! (£80+!!!)
