Blizzard 1260 50Mhz 128MB (for sale or swap)

I'd like to sell my Blizzard 1260 in order to finance the purchase of a Cyberstorm card for my A3000...

The price including worldwide shipping and PayPal fees is EUR 500. SOLD to WonkeyDonkey

Alternately, I would be also interested some kind of swap for a Cyberstorm MKIII...

The card was purchased a long time ago and not used since. It has some RAM installed the size of which I do not remember at the moment, and I will also inlcude a low profile 128MB stick with it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I've never used this card myself. It was waiting for me having some time to spend on my A1200 ever since I've bought it...
Today I've just tried it in the only A1200 I currently have, a basic Escom unmodified machine, and unfortunately I kept on receiving a Guru Meditation (8000 0004) a few seconds into the booting process. (It starts to boot, and after about 2-3 seconds it crashes...)

Now I do not know why that is. Unfortunately I do not know what mobo revision I have as this machine was never taken apart yet. Consequently no resistor etc. modifications have been done and I was running on the stock Commodore power supply... The machine boots fine with a ACA1231 though...

I do not know what this implies with regards to the card :( If anyone has any suggestions I'll gladly try anything. (I have no converted PSUs though...)

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON THE UPDATE:*

Thanks to the suggestions below, it now seems that it is a software problem with related to the "setpatch" command. The card seems to work fine...


Here are some pictures:

NOTE: If someone has any ideas how I could diagnose the boot problem I'd really appreciate any suggestions even if you are not interested in the card :)

Could be your sys based on 030 libraries or setpatch that does not like 060. Try to boot without startup sequence, run setpatch from cli, then loadwb and try sysinfo or whichamiga.

Get the 060 library pack from http://phase5.a1k.org

The card will definitely *not* work with the default 68040.library included in WB 3.0/3.1 and will guru once into the boot process.
Just dump the contents of the first archive into LIBS: and you'll be good to go :) (68040old.library is actually the existing 68040.library, kept for backup purposes. You could rename the existing one and unarchive the other 3 - 68040.library, 68060.library and 68040new.library - from the archive if you so prefer).

A quick way to verify the card is otherwise (most likely) OK is to enter the early boot up menu from a cold start and select boot with no startup sequence, you should get the CLI window without any gurus.

Declaring interest pending further details.

Edit : PM Sent.

Thanks everyone for the tips!!! It seems the problem is indeed with the user :)

I've booted without Startup-Sequence and it worked. I then commented out setpatch and now it boots to the Workbench without a problem.

Unfortunatelly I cannot find SysInfo on the HD and the floppy does not seem to recognize the install floppies (DF0:????)...

So for now I only have a quick photo of the Workbench itself.
I'll try to get SysInfo on the machine somehow and make some more pictures if I manage...

Finally, as it turns out the original RAM it cam with was also 128MB...

Hi there, I am interested in that card too. So let me know if the sale does not work out with the first in line ;-)

Cheers, Oli (Germany)

Added some new photos from SysInfo...

SOLD to WonkeyDonkey. Payment received. Many thanks!
Sending package tomorrow.

This will make for an amazing A1200 project real soon!
