Hi just a  personal curosity thing.

How many peeps who post on this site own a ppc accelerator

I've got a CyberstormPPC 68060/50MHz,604e/200MHz in my A3000 desktop.  I bought it maybe six years ago, along with a CybervisionPPC gfx card.  No problems with it whatsoever, best h/w I think I've ever bought, especially with the UltraSCSI3 DMA controller built-in.  I was worried about heat even though it was designed to fit the standard A3000 d/t case.  Luckily, I had previously cut a 2 inch square hole in the A3000 drive bay on the right side when I had a C= A3640 card w/ large heatsink.  This worked out well to put a large fan over the hole for extra cooling of the cpus, simms and permedia card.

a csPPC here, of the phase5 build, luckily. I had to loan the money for it as well, so that's only fair :)

Framiga,

One last try about the 604e (this just crossed my mind).
Turn on your Amiga and quickly try to run a PPC program and see if it works. Make sure that the accelerator itself hasn't been used for a while and is completely cool.

It could be that your PPC chip gets overheated pretty fast and needs some extra good cooling. This is of course a long-shot guess, but it's worth a try. I've seen PPC cards do this (e.g. the provided heatsink and fan are simply not enough, as there are revisions of 603e and 604e chips that just get way too hot after minutes of usage, or less).
