Shame there isn't some adapter for connecting the radeon directly to the CSPPC expansion bus.

There is: the GRexx PCI that was designed by Phase5. Sadly, I don't think it's supported in OS4 (part of the original red/blue platform split, the GRexx is AFAIK, supported by MOS), or is likely to be in future. I'd love to be wrong about that though. Speaking from a pure hardware perspective, it was a far better solution for the BlizzardPPC than the Mediator1200 IMNSHO.

Many have tried, few have survived to tell the tale.

Ok... Plan B then...

I'll send Kesa round with his army of Nazi Zombies and the giant floating turd... that should do the trick... :lol:

There was only a very limited amount of these ever produced, besides it wouldn't work on my A4000T. I'm more thinking of a single adapter for connecting the Radeon to the CSPPC expansion bus, but this probably also needs documentation and be expensive to produce.

Jens should totally get on it :D

A new PCI expansion board for the BlizzardPPC/CSPPC expansion bus for which drivers for 3.x/4.x/MOS etc. can be independently developed.

I'd kill for such an expansion ;)

If your gonna dump your B-vision... DONT... :(

If you want to sell it I'd be more than happy to give you a good price for it... :)

(Karlos still won't part with his... :()


I still keep pondering dumping my bppc and bvis, I awt to get it out the wardrobe and fire it up. I usually get this feelin when I've spent 700 quid on some dumb hifi. It will pass.

So far, the effort to wire the power supply up is so yawning....and that the tower case is it sits in is my oscillating fan stand. (its sad dust gathering life for a bppc and bvis)

The BVision is based on the Permedia2. It's totally outclassed by any supported Radeon, both in terms of available memory and speed*.

However, I do still have a special soft spot for the BVision card. When I first got it, it totally transformed my everyday usage of the A1200, moreso than the PPC card it attached to. Seeing actual hardware accelerated 3D on the machine (even if it is laughable by current standards) was a buzz :)

*An exception is in the bus transfer speed from the CPU to the video RAM. For an A1200, CPU access to devices on the Mediator1200's PCI backbone is considerably slower than the CPU -> BVision. This may mean that some applications run a bit quicker on the BVision. The only obvious one that springs to mind is CPU-decoded video playback.


Hmm, that's kinda what I thought, the tight integration of b-vision has its advantages.

Buuut, the Radeon has a few too. The Mediator at it's fasts runs @ 66Mhz. Is that about normal for the period of PCs back then? I think so...

Ok, I'm sure an English pound = an American dollar but what does a bob equal?
