Accelerators
Anyone fancy selling me their fully working, non-upgraded or tinkered with Phase 5 Blizzard 1260 IV?
Name your price and I'll see how deep my pocket gets. Yeah, I know, slim chance, laugh it up gents... ![]() I would swap a Phase 5 Blizzard 1230 IV with 68882 FPU & 8Mb SIMM and an Apollo 1260 with 32Mb SIMM for it instead if that helps...? Why? Well, personally, having used both types of accelerator, I prefer the Blizzards (fit in the trapdoor easier, keypress at boot to disable etc.) and I would like my 060 accelerator with more than 32Mb RAM. I want to get into doing some serious A1200 + 060 coding. ![]() |

My newly acquired A1200 (that replaced the fried one...) is now running Blizzard 1260 accelerated with 128Mb RAM.
Now I can watch all those cool TBL demos on the real thing! \o/ Gotta thank DoogUK for selling me his Blizzard 1240. ![]() Gotta thank Zetr0 for his evil genius plan of getting that card upgraded to 1260. ![]() And gotta thank Per Gunnar for doing the upgrade really fast. ![]() Maybe now I can think about trying some A1200 / AGA coding too - once I've done a few more retro effects first of course. ![]() |

@ alexh - no, didn't sell them off.
The only thing I lack at the moment is a processor in the Apollo 1260 - I nicked the processor from that (cos it was socketed and was the latest mask) to send to Per Gunnar along with the Blizz 1240 for the upgrade. I have ordered a new processor for the Apollo from Amigamaniac.com but it hasn't come through yet... |

Watcha Doogster!
![]() I'll see if I can rob the wife's digital camera in a minute and take some pics. ![]() I'll have to let the '060 cool down a bit first ![]() First time I've seen it on the real thing and not the emulator. That demo R-U-L-E-S! My favourite new skool demo by far at the moment - can't get over how good the 3D objects and texture mapping is... ![]() Kalms and the other TBL boys: ![]() |

And here's a closeup of the back of the processor's pins so you can see PG's soldering skills:
