Hi Vincent,

Did you check out those Viper accelerators
out at Vesalia? Check under their previews
section. They're due in  on the 15th, and
the '060 with 64megs is going to sell
for about 230 euros. In my honest opinion,
the '060 is well worth the extra money...
I think you could pick up that new Viper
'060 card for the price of the current '040
Blizzard (the '040 is fine, but if you're
not going PPC get the '060

I'm running a Blizzard 1260 with a 1D4 (escom)
motherboard with zero problems.

AFAIK The Apollo cards can't be disabled like
the Blizzard (and probably Viper) cards can be
for compatability.

Thanks for pointing them out -D-.

I've actually emailed them about their Blizzard boards, but haven't got a reply yet.  I'm not wanting to buy from a company that doesn't reply to their customers.  What if I need a replacement/help/etc?

I think I'll be buying from somewhere in the UK (which probably means Eyetech), but I'm going to wait until next week when I (should) have answers from Vesalia/Eyetech/AmigaDeals.

The 030/40 that I've got runs at 7.11Mips (from sysinfo), so I know what slow is like ;-)

Yeah.....

Why is there no one that knows this stuff, puts it in a guide and place it on Aminet!

I can fix these things easilly myself

That's a great idea :-D

Anyone willing to do that for us unknowledgables? :-)

Well, to put things in perspective, expect about 19 Mips from 040/25, 25Mips from 040/33 30Mips from 040/40 and upto 80 Mips on 060/50 for superscalar code (over 100 for 060/66)...


My old 040 was my first accelerator. I didn't even have fast ram before that. The jump from 2Mb chip-only 020/14 to 16Mb 60ns 040/25 was just staggering...Happy days ;-)

Hey Vincent,

 You may want to check with KDH (where I ordered
my '060 from). They're one of the best amiga
companies left IMO.

Well i had an apollo 1260/75mhz which worked fine on my 1d4 which had ioblix clockport.But i sold that because eyetech said the 75mhz version cant have another simm socket fitted due to the size of the chips on the back.So i bought a blizzard 1260 and also a powerflyer the powerflyer works fine alone but if the 1260 is in the screen goes red.
