Blizzard 1240-1260 68040RC Accelerator 16mb Ram

I have for sale a Blizzard Phase 5 1260 accelerator board which comes fitted with a 68040RC processor @ 40mhz and 16mb of ram (upgradable to 64mb). This is basically a 1240 accelerator on a 1260 ready board should you ever want to have it upgraded / modified to a full 1260.

This card gets a 28691 Dhrystones result in sysinfo, compared to a Blizzard 1230-IV 68030 processor @ 50Mhz with 64mb ram which only gets approximately 8700 Dhrystones this card is a beast! It comes in full working order and is in excellent condition.

The only things I should mention is that the fan cable does not have a connector so this will have to be soldered to a power source or a connector will have to be fitted. Also this will not fit into a desktop 1200 unless you have your trapdoor open and system elevated with large feet pads so that there is room for the memory simm.

Asking £225 plus shipping.

Payment via paypal "gift" is fine. I have plenty of ebay feedback etc and a high paypal score should any potential buyers want to see.

Am I right in assuming this is the same card listed on eBay as a blizzard 1260

This is the one, its listed as a Blizzard 1260 with a 68040RC processor. Is this not correct? Its not something im keen on selling but I need the cash.

Hi,

If its has an 040 processor its best to list it as a Blizzard 1240, you don't want to get anyone raising a 'not as described' case against you ;)

Also these can take 128mb Ram or 256mb (With optional SCSI kit.)

Good luck with your sale, great cards these :thumbsup:

Steve.

I was going off what it said on the box, a 1260, but with a 68040RC processor. Ill adjust the listing now.

Also I never knew it could take 128mb ram! Ill add that to the listing also.

No problem, best to be safe rather than sorry with ebay - a lot of idiots out there although its quite clear what you are selling there might be someone who buys it expecting an 060, again best of luck with the sale its a shame when things need to be sold :(

@ anagrama

Is the Blizzard advert on the other site *cough* a 'Buy It Now'?

It's always best if there's a level playing field, if you follow me.

@merlin

I checked the link and it is a BIN with a slightly higher price but includes P&P :)

Dave G :cool:

It is a buy it now, I offered it here with a reduction of about £25.

Its now been updated with the correct 1240 information, and the 128mb information ;)

Can anyone tell me where to get a suitable 128mb stick from? If it doesnt sell then I may hold out and purchase one!

I noticed someone is selling an identical card for £*** on the *cough* website so I presumed £250 was a good start. I noticed 1230 cards were selling for £*** so with the 1240 your getting a much greater performance for a reasonable price when you compare the two... Hopefully this is right.

I've removed your comparative prices as this could be seen as price driving. Please have a flick through the rules again. Dave G

I know a man who sell's 128mb memory for Amiga accelerator cards - me :D
