Hello,
thank to Amibay, some weeks ago i have received a working BlizzardPPC
https://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=41932
It was a 68040@25 - 603@200 card
It had a defective Simm socket that i have replaced with a new one, then i have started the upgrade task to obtain a more powerful card
The old CPUs
Then the new parts: MC68060RC50 rev.5 (but labeled as rev.6), clocked at 50MHz and MPC603RRX300LC, clocked at 300MHz with a bus clock of 66MHz. This part, new, had a solder balls hard to solder: the task was not easy and the eat was dangerous for some IC placed on this card. I have opted for a reballing with little solder balls with right size for this cpu (0,76 mm.)
Then a new battery with socket
The new card is solid and affordable...
...and the look is good
I have an old version of the program "wichamiga", that dont tell the right value of the bus clock of the PPC processor
That's all!
Regards
Stefano
