The problem is the fastram...
I don't want to flash the firmware again, because no PPC now...
@Wasagi
I don't really need the 060 for me, so I'm going to package your BlizzPPC and sending to you !

3 ) I tried to wiggle the card in various positions on the edge connector, the card would boot sometimes but not consistently enough to test the card let alone setup PPC powerup etc.
4 ) At advice I tried cleaning the edge connector on my motherboard
5 ) Was told it was my A1200 at fault
6 ) Drove loads of miles to buy a new A1200 (rev 1d1 motherboard)
7 ) Card still didnt work
8 ) Xanxi told me to send to cosmos he would pay half shipping (which he did)
9 ) Cosmos encountered same problems as me (Card would not boot 100%
10 ) Cosmos replace 040 CPU with 060 I provided (Card still not boot)
11 ) Cosmos notice some defects with soldering etc on board and fixed these, still no boot
12 ) Problem with edge connector, so edge connector replaced
13 ) Card seem to boot (I think from Cosmos translation), but PPC not detected
14 ) Mfilos kindly donated his PPC for my card
15 ) Cosmos replace PPC on board with Mfilos PPC, card not boot
16 ) PPC removed from board, still no boot
17 ) Wasagi is proud owner of new paperweight :)
All throughout the process I have tried to be honest and understanding and willing to try to get this card to work. I feel like I've been taken to the cleaners. I don't think the card worked before I received it, but it's been so long now and so many things I don't know.
It would be nice if I could get an official response from the team here as to who is at fault here and how this might be prevented in the future as my confidence in the buying process here is diminished significantly. If at very least this is an 'expensive' lesson to everyone then that will do :(
"defects with soldering"
@Cosmos
Happend the defect because the card is so old?
Or because someone else done something on that before?
You send the card with persimission or agreement from Xanxi, to Cosmos right?
And Xanxi knew that cosmos is soldering something?
If yes i would say Xanxi schould take the card back.
It matters not about Xanxi as he renounced ownership of this card from day one.Quote:

I think you have a good prove that the card arrived you defect you have documented it here since the first day. And you did all to get this card work.
That's pretty much the long and the short of it. I'm not looking for handbags at dawn or legal disputes etc. Just some guidance as to is at fault here and how it could be prevented in future trading on this website. It almost gives me more faith in the other bay. I'm annoyed about being out of pocket, wasting a lot of time for me and others. But mostly I'm annoyed for letting all this happen.Quote:

The first step is maybe to give him -1
All other buyer see this and can see what happend.
And can decide to do a deal with him.
It would be unfair if you donīt it. I mean unfair for all other buyer.
