what speed o-mighty bipstah!?

40mhz or the lucious 50mhz ?

PLCC or PGA ?

amigakit has these in stock...

I would suggest the dreaded fleaybay but after loking at thier current prices i think i want to run away!

BippyM · 06 July 2007, 16:11

uhhmm.. 50mhz (to match the blizzard) and as for type.. how do i know..

Whatever the blizzard takes

Zetr0 · 06 July 2007, 16:17

probly PGA....

*checks amiga.resource.cx*

yepo 50mhz PGA *the expensive one lol*

hmmm i cannot seem to find any on amiga kit.... strange google products (froogle) seems to be lying to me ... damn them.... damn them youtube buying cretins...

@bipstah

the only one i have manage to find is this one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CPU-Chip-68030...QQcmdZViewItem

its a bit price for BIN, but i am sure you could secure it for £50 (it also includes an 030@50mhz) so alteast you could sell that back on fleabay.

of course you could always over clock a 40mhz one (just remember to add a smidge of active cooling)

this linkie is for yet another companion CPU and FPU bundle, seems that getting a single FPU is well... hmmm...

of course bipstah, you could say sod it all and get a 40mhz 040, that has the fpu inside

... it would save me trying to find linkies

128$ BIN ? WTF ? When did 030's get so precious ?

BippyM · 06 July 2007, 16:44

It's a bit pricey.. be cheaper to but another 030 with the fpu on it already!

Just FYI 68882s overclock well.. I've had a 33MHz one running at 50MHz for quite a long time

(Don't get too hot either... I guess they're not really used for much)

I may have another 68882 at home, I'll have a look in my box o' spares when I get back

BippyM · 06 July 2007, 16:47

cool thanks.. I only want it so my blizzard is complete and has no spare slots etc..

Next will be a scsi unit, but i'll not use that I don't reckon... and the fpu will be useful for imagine, vistapro etc etc

BinoX · 06 July 2007, 19:28

Well... I've got a 40MHz one here... buuuuuuttt... I'm using it in an accelerator card... so I don't really want to part with it...

However... if you have some hardware you wanna trade for it I may consider it... (Preferably A500 or A2000 stuff) (Especially if it's a commodore (HAS to be commodore for this project) branded SCSI card for the 2000)

BippyM · 06 July 2007, 19:43

uhmmm.. no scsi cards.. i'm just sorting my stuff out as i'm ditching alot of the amiga's

I'm having 1 of each and a 12oo project

BinoX · 06 July 2007, 19:48

Ditching.. DITCHING?????? RAHHHRRGGGHHH!!!!

PMed...

Have you tried to look for an electro recycling/chip recovery company?
I've bought my 68882 at http://www.demotronic.net (okay over nine years ago but at that time they had lots of 68k stuff)

fc.studio · 06 July 2007, 20:40

For Blizzard 1230/IV you need a 68882 @ 50 Mhz PGA.

Lately, on e-Bay, this is very expensive if bought alone.
However, unfortunately FPU on Amiga has little use. You need one only if you want run Hi-level demo or very few utilities.
