    here:
    http://phase5.a1k.org/
    I suggest to use 44.69 vesion.

    And flash version has nothing to do with Blizzard PPC hardware version.
    There are at least 3 versions of Blizzard PPC boards: rev0, rev1 and rev2.
    Only rev2 hardware is working with G-REX.

    This is the example of rev2 board:

    Please have look what whichamiga is reporting

    I've never seen rev1 by the way...

    Because I've installed latest version with OpenPCI support on Cyberstorm PPC and CyberVision PPC was not working any more.
    Never checked this behavior on Blizzard PPC + BVision, but I think it will be the same - BVision will refuse to work.
    Seems that last version is suitable for G-REX setup only.

    Tested by me :

    MK III with v44.71 + CVPPC = working

    BlizzPPC rev? with v44.71 + BVision = working

    aaarrggghhh... Same prob here : http://cosmosamiga.blogspot.com/2010...rdppc-aie.html

    You must desolder the eeprom, and flash it with a programmator !

    Unfortunately Cosmos is right...
    I've had the same issue.
    To be sure that it will never happen again it's better to replace AMD29F040B (flash memory IC) by new one. Of course you have to program it first.
