BPPC 040/25MHz+PPC for CD32 SX32PRO

[Portugeeza1]

Hi All

I'm thinking of swapping my BPPC 040/25/240 with 96mb ram what I'm after and it will probably be hard to get. A CD32 SX32 PRO.
I could also add other hardware to this like a GREX with a Voodoo3k

Hello there,

Welcome to the EAB, theres plenty of retr0licious mischief to get upto around here, so kick back and enjoy the retr0-coated yumminess that this fair board provides...

and you might also get some luck posting this on www.amibay.com

Hi Zetr0

thanks for the warm welcome, I'll have a look at amibay

You need to be a little more specific in future posts... say exactly what it is you want... what you are trading etc.

You didnt even say which GREX you were after (although I assume it was a GREX1200)

I would imagine that you MIGHT be able to trade a BPPC for an SX32-Pro. Certainly if you sent it away to be upgraded to an 060 it would be a great deal.

Why an SX32-Pro?? The SX32 and SX32-MKII are very affordable and give you everything you need for a great WHDLoad capable CD32.

Also bear in mind an 030 with it's datacache will break Akiko C2P routines - but this isn't much of a problem as nothing really uses them except maybe Wing Commander.

No way I'd swap my Pro for a Blizzard though.

Oh sorry guys I was meaning I would throw in a GREX + plus a Voodoo3k
the GREX is for the 1200.
about up grading the 040 to an 060 if I had the money I would of done that
but at this point in time I can not afford to do this.

You'll just get raped over price if you don't.

You should be able to get it done for under €100.

With an E41J 060 @80MHz and a 603@240MHz would make the card the best possible BPPC.

Unfortunately you've missed the best time to sell this card, which was Pre-OS4

Why?
And where can you get that upgrade done?

Because most people have come to the conclusion that AOS4 is (unfortunately) shite for classics and re-installed OS3.9 and WarpOS (or PowerUp). WHDload cannot be run under OS4 which (to me) is the whole reason for having a classic Amiga.

A guy called PG over at Amiga.org will do them. His preference is for Apollo 1240->1260 upgrades but he has done BPPC before from what I remember.

LOL.. talk about being narrow minded. OS4 is shit for classic?

Hi alexh

At the mo I can not even afford €100 I have to much to pay, also your saying that having a PPC at 240hmz is shit? much worse than having an 040 then? so getting this card to play a few good games like freespace and a few good programs, also using it with a med 1200 and GREX 1200 with MOS is shit then? so its not even worth an 030 for the CD32?

@Protugeeza

If i had a grandmother i would trade you!!!!

I have to admit its an interesting deal, and looking at prices not to dissiliar realistically...

so would you take undying love, and unclaimed forum souls?....

apparently souls can be used as currency in the underworld.... i so surprised as to why no one has taken me up on this.... figure....

good luck with your trade...

@ Zetr0

I think both of my grandmothers are probably at the same place as yours.
also this is my first time here. And I now feel that what's left of the amiga people are just bitter, long gone are the days people are whiling to help an amiga person in need. the only person who's nice here has been you, next time your in west London look me up and I'll buy you a few beers.
Oh I'm having a few problems registering on that amibay

Thanks for the info!
I must admit, that until they get FinalWriter working properly on OS4 I won't bother. Lack of BPPC SCSI isn't exactly a 'must-have' feature, either.


What, in general did people not like about OS4?

Heys Portugeeza1,

There are some a still bitter, perhaps some lube would help, but this board has a lot less than most... dont take Alexh's comments in a bad way... hes a robot... we worked this out on Off Topic earlier last month i think... tuth is... he has his way.... and as long as he gets a bath once a week hes a pretty nice guy
