CSPPC repair - Stachu rules. :)

[spirantho]

Hi everybody,
Just for a bit of positive feedback - and it may be useful to some other people.
Although Stachu100 on Amibay doesn't repair CS-PPCs, he does upgrade them... and of course if the problem is that your PPC doesn't work....

Anyway, long story short - Just over a week ago, I had in my hands a glorified Cyberstorm MkIII - actually a 200MHz PPC but the PPC was dead as a dodo. Today (and 250 Euros poorer, which isn't much all things considered) I now have installed a fully working CyberstormPPC running at just over 360MHz (he replaced the 200MHz part with a 350MHz one). And he installed a new fan too, as the fan was what caused the original's death.

250 Euros isn't much to get a CS-PPC back alive again, especially when it's now a bit of a speed demon (for a Classic Amiga anyway!).
If anyone else has a CS-PPC where the fan stopped or the PPC is dead it may be worth a try asking him - but of course be warned he's not really offering a repair service, just an upgrade - but you may be lucky like I was.

Yeah, I got one where the PPC isn't working, the 68060/50 & scsi & ram works fine.

Instead of sending it overseas and pay for the upgrade I think I will just sell it as it is now, if someone else wants to take the risk, more power to them

Yep he's really good, I'd highly recommend his professionalism.

He's upgraded 2 cards for me, an Apollo 1240 to 1260 @ 80Mhz and a Blizzard 1240 to 1260 @ 80 Mhz, he did a brilliant job with both upgrades.

Thanks a lot for kind words! :-)
I like to bring classic hardware back to life / do an upgrade and make people happy.
Also financial benefits helps me to get premission from my wife to have some spare time in the evening for my hobby. ;-)

Stachu is the boss!

MmmM decisions, decisions, use mine as is (as a cyberstorm mkiii), send it in and have Stachu upgrade it to 300+ mhz or sell it as is :confused:

They are getting rarer than hen's teeth as the people across the pond say

I'd get the upgrade; but that's just me.

To protect your card user(s) may want to consider adding copper shim. I got the idea from this thread.
