In need of a new PPC accellerator...

[pyrre]

As posted in the other post
I found out that my ppc card is of an older type, making problems with using the BVision...
Do any of u guys know if there is any new (or used for that matter)PPC cards for sale. or do any of u guys have one not in use for sale?

My card is a 603e+ 210MHz 040
the only thing i demand/need is that it is SCSI onboard...

I sincerely doubt that the problem is with your PPC accelerator being a rev. 0 card. As Piru mentioned in the thread you linked to, he hasn't had any problems with BVision and a rev. 0 BPPC board. Neither have I, and I have had quite a few.

A 200W PSU might not be enough, or the PSU might be on it's way out. You have mentioned that you powered the computer through the main power connector, but make sure that you have connected 4 wires and not only the wire for -12V as someone has mentioned previously in another thread. Feed the motherboard through the floppy power port as you are doing now, and then feed the Blizzard PPC accelerator through the fan connector on the accelerator (remember to feed the fan from a different source). Just make sure to connect it correctly, or else you will end up frying your card.

My A1200T, with BPPC 040/160/SCSI, BVision, 2 x CD drive, 1 x HDD, scandoubler, floppy and wireless ethernet card has run rock stable from a 350W PSU for a long time now by using the above mentioned power feeds, as well as the timing fixes.

Only thing I'm still having problems with though, is getting MorphOS to run.

The powerconector is connected with all possible pins...
without the -12V the sound is a problem (i did not gen any sound). and the stability was a major problem, my A1200 would not even run, without the ppc connected.... And yes, I have power to the floppy connector as well...

That I have not done, yet...

200W should be enough... Im just running a hard drive in addition to the accelerator... The zip drive has its own psu... The psu is not showing any kind of signs that it is about to die... It reports all the powers as it should do...
measuring with a multimeter... both voltage and amps....

------
I can try to connect the PPC trough the fan connector onboard, and run the ppc fan direct from the psu...
perhaps that may work...
