Hello,

I want to buy a expansion card Blizzard 1260 to 50MHz (original - no modify)

Make Offer please.

Thank you.

really nobody sells 1260 :cry:

They pop here from time to time, mate.

Look on a 2-days basis on the Amiga hardware for sale section. Hardly a month without one for sale.

Hi there!

I have an Apollo 1240/1260 here. You just need to solder a 68060 processor on it to get a 1260. Those processors cost around 30 Euro on Ebay. That way you'll get the cheapest possible 1260. I ask for 175 Euro for the Apollo 1240/1260 incl. 32MB Ram.

Not just the 060, mate!

To upgrade the 040 to 060 the guy who work on the board need:

- A proper voltage regulator to make the +5V to 3.3V (not hard to make or buy);

- A ROM upgrade. The old ROM must be taken out and new burned unit soldered in place with the proper content. This is also not much hard to do;

- The hard part is de-solder the 040 from the board: must be made using a desolder pistol or from an equipped technician.

Ex-Collector thank you for your proposal but I just want a card blizzard 1260 :roll: . Rkauer also thank you for this additional information :thanks:

Still no blizzards 1260 to sell? :bowdown:

@ dolphin_fr

Of course it's your choice to have a genuine Blizzard 1260, but with an Apollo 1260/1240, but you stand a better chance of acquiring one & more so of an Apollo 040 than an 060.
If you search eBay for "Apollo 1240 - 1260 upgrade kit", a guy in Sweden has at least one for sale & at a very respectable price. You'll have to act fast though.

Try & find a card with 2 x Memory slots too. Then you can fit 64Mb in 2 x 32Mb simms. :thumbsup:

Good luck,

Kin

*edited by Kin for talking nonsense*

does it have to be a blizzard? how about a genuine apollo 1260 @ 50mhz?

or do you need the blizzards scsi?

cheers, JuvUK

@ JuvUK

The Blizzard 1260 SCSI kit is an add on affair, where as on the Blizzard PPC 603e+, it was the only version with SCSI on the accelerator card itself. :thumbsup:

@ All

If SCSI is on the wanted list, it will be a harder job finding a Blizzard 060 solution & may require some patience.

If only 060 is required, dolphin_fr is better off considering an 040 Apollo & getting the linked 060 upgrade kit pdq.

@JuvUK

Does your apollo 1260 @ 50mhz runs cool inside a desktop A1200 without extra cooling?
