I had both in an A1200 desktop case when I still had my A1200.  Ran real warm, but tolerable enough with the trapdoor cover off.

Though my PPC card was just a 160 mhz PPC / '040 combo.

I also use a blizzard PPC and BVision with a subway USB solution in an A1200 Desktop Case.... my blizzard is an overclocked 060/66 and 333 Mhz PPC.... use aktive cooling and connect 5Volt from an externel Powersuply to the floppyport....
Save Planet Earth! It is the only one in the galaxy with fresh and cold beer :laughing:

Connecting 5V directly to the floppy connector never worked for me with BPPC+BVision, I had to feed the BPPC directly from an external PSU.

Unfortunately Mfilios's thread images are missing :(


... but fortunately I've found his blog with his impressive desktop A1200 stuffed with all the things that one can imagine... and more! :)

FDD connector solution worked for me. Sometime it requires reset to boot (depending on ambient temperature), but that seems to be a common problem.
Better sorry than worry.

FDD connector worked for me with BPPC only, but once BVision was added, the voltage dropped to 4.7V, which is too low.
Feeding the BPPC directly resulted in stable 5.1V on both the BPPC & BVision.

UberFreak can you show me a photo (or a link to some resources) of a BVision feeded directly? Thanks in advance.
