SCSI and BVision on the same board?
« on: May 08, 2004, 03:03:33 AM »
Okay.  These have got to be a few unbelievably easy questions for some of you high-spec machine owners out there.  

I just picked up a (cheap, yay!) second hand Blizzard PPC.  Unfortunately, the board lacks the on-board SCSI.  I was hoping to I could find the SCSI module and add it on later.  Am I looking for the Blizzard SCSI-IV kit?  Or is it something else?

Next question:  Doesn't the SCSI add-on plug into the same place the BVision card plugs in?  If I have SCSI, does that mean I can't have a BVision?

Last question:  Does the Blizzard interfere with the PCMCIA slot?  If my 1200 was up and running, I'd already know this by now.  Unfortunately, my motherboard is on the way to Amiga France to be fixed.  (Thanks to everybody for pointing me in the right direction on that one.)

I guess five questions is enough for one post.  Thanks guys (and gals).

There is no add-on SCSI for BlizzardPPC. The only way to get SCSI to BlizzardPPC is to get the model having SCSI in the first place. Sorry.

No, since BlizzardPPC memory is in the 32bit area, PCMCIA slot works just fine.

It's realy sad that the BlizzardPPC came in a none SCSI flavour because it can't be uppgraded later on which is a real drawback. I had such a card at first but uppgraded to one with SCSI later as I realy needed that in my tower project.
