FS: Blizzard PPC 060@66MHz/PPC@330MHz with SCSI + 128MB RAM

[stachu100]

For sale Blizzard PPC upgraded by me:
1) MC68060RC50 rev6 working at 66MHz. Oscillator is socketed, so card can be downgraded to 60MHz to work with BVPPC.
2) PPC@330MHz
3) Onboard SCSI + SCSI cable suitable for tower system (see pictures)
4) New accumulator + new fan
5) 2x64 MB RAM; 128MB FAST RAM in total

Card is repaired: someone un-solder SCSI chip by un-professional way and some pads were off (see pictures) All pads were repaired by me, and now card is 100% working.

I will give 1 month DOA warranty under the condition that you have good AT (NOT ATX!!!) PSU and all electrolytic capacitors are replaced.

Due to the fact that SCSI cable is prepared for tower system, this setup is recommended, but card can work with desktop as well.

I will also add:
60MHz oscillator for BVPPC
User Manual (if I will find it, should be somewhere)
Copy of phase5 install floppy

For 10GBP extra (just to cover extra transport fees) I can add old SCSI CD-ROM and 9GB SCSI HDD, so you can have complete setup without thinking about termination/SCSI ID jumpers settings.
CD-ROM is reading genuine CD's without problems (see video), but CD-R and CD-R/W are not recognized. Please be aware.
Of course you can buy better CD-ROM later.
Any question please ask.

Offers via PM.

Why no ATX ??

[stachu100]

Several people reported problems with turbo cards (not only BPPC reworked by me) when powered from cheap noname ATX bought on ebay. The parameters written on them are just good wish and they are faaaar from true.

Which ATX brands are known to be reliable? I have a BeQuiet one...

I would never ever power this kind of valuable hardware with a 10€ PSU... You do get decent ones for 25€ upwards tho (300W).

This is exactly what you should NOT do.
Anyway Blizzard is reserved already (outside amiga.org).

Saw some test with good and cheap supplies - the cheap ones (say under 50 €) did create some impressive clouds of smoke...(mostly they were severely overspecced)

Why not?

A decent one isn't neccessarily expensive. Nor must an expensive one be decent...

Does the Blizzard PPC SCSI interface work reliability with 66 Mhz 060?

Yes but better have the latest 060 CPU mask for this.

A PSU with a +5 v / 25 A is enough for a BlizzardPPC@330 + BVision ??

Indeed. I bought a new 460 watt Cooler Master ATX psu for 50 Euros for my A1200 (costs more then the A1200 mobo ).

Anyway, cheap PSUs are probably a good way to ask for trouble. Buy new, and don't be a cheap skate

It's even too much. 5V/10A for desktop is fine. The most important is to have at least 4,85V on BVision. But why do you asking this? You know that as well as I do. ;-)

My 420W ATX PSU (5v@30A) is good with 603e@360 & 060@50, but when I put a new 64 Mhz crystal for the 060, the BVision is out...

When I try 603@250 and 060@64, I get a working BVision...

I'll purchase a new PSU with a 5v@40A, hope it solve this issue...

it can't be this the issue (but if you got a ground loop between the 5V power source and the BVision or a very flaky PSU).

Check (as stachu100 suggested) to have at least 4.85 v onto the BVision.
