where can i get a Blizzard 1260 from?

Ebay is probably your best bet. Be warned however, the 040 and especially the 060's are as rare as hens teeth.

thanks for any suggestions also how much are they nowdays?

Well, think of it this way, do you want an 060 Blizzard, or a villa in the south of France?

Well, I got the package in today, there will be more on the blog.
The accelerator is NOT the Blizzard (the box is). The Accelerator inside the box is a MicroBotics M1230 XA . To be sort of fair, the seller did try to warn me about it as he sent a link to the BBOH to the Microbotic card. I caulked it up to a wrong link at the time.
It also was $40- I knew for a Blizzard MIV it was too good to be true, so I am not even going to gripe or leave him bad feedback, because he more than made up for it with other stuff.
In my stash or disks, I believe I have the driver disk. It is marked MBX 1200 Utility software disk Microbotics. Does anyone have more info?
Also the BboH say this takes regular 72 pin sims. Is that EDO? I have tons of old ram kicking about, so finding a 128 Meg shouldn't be an issue, I just want to make sure its compatible.

The B1230 IV is the fastest '030 card for the A1200.

I agree with DJ and recommend the Blizzard as it hasn't failed me yet ! its reliability and compatibility are awesome :-)
