Now I want to install PFS3, so I have been lazy and downloaded the PFS3 from aminet: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/PFS3_53 and unpacked it. (7zip unpacks lha files) and put it in the “T” directory of my rescuepartition.
in WB, first doubleclick on “Rescue”, rightclick to get the menues in the Window menu, Show -> all files” then you can fint T and then click to PFS3 install icons
Many times on different forums I have seen the question:
1. How do I install Workbench on a CF Card to me moved to my Amiga
2. How do I use PFS3
So, I decided to do this step-by-step guide of doing both of this. I will use workbench 3.9 if you want to install 3.1 you are in your own after you mounted the CF etc. But if you use large CF cards I recomend you to use 3.9 with all boingbags.
Now it is time to fix power, storage and finalize the build.
First, as the BPPC requires more power then the Amiga motherboard can handle. I have to add one extra +5V line. I was thinking on how to fix this. First I was planned to use the “Sheild” cable in the powercable as it was unused, but after some thinking I decided this to be a bad move and IF I should connect that to an non-modified Amiga, bad things would happen. So I decided to have a extra powercable for the separate +5V.
So next step is to try to get rid of cables and adapters of the outside the machine.
As my machine often is actually placed BELOW my desk I am not able to use the Amiga keyboard (that finally WILL be in the machine aswell) I got a Lyra2 keyboard adapter, letting me use a PS/2 type of keyboard on the machine. It also works fine with my KVM switch (allowing me to use keyboard/monitor/mouse (KVM=KeyboardVideoMouse ) on all my machines.)
Well the Lyra adapter comes with a plate for towers, I do not want to go tower.
Ok. Next thing to get into the Amiga. the Phase 5 Blizzard PPC Accelerator.
As I told in the beginning, I got hold of an Blizzard PPC, 25MHz 68040, 175MHz 603e+ PPC CPU. I asked around if someone can upgrade it.
Basicly everyone recomended this guy called Stachu in Poland for this kind of job. So I did. some weeks later I got a package:
I had an A1200 with an ACA1232 accelerator. when suddenly I got hold of an BPPC Accelerator and BVision.
the BPPC Was 040 so I checked out and found one that could upgrade it to 060 and also change the PPC to a faster one. in Poland. So.. I did send it there. when I got it home I was thinking. what to do with out? Tower? or my first plan. my A1200 case was a blackpainted one and no keyboard. but I got hold of a nice A1200 case and keyboard. so. why not try to put it all back in an A1200 case and actually try to get this running WITHOUT a tower that most BPPC Machines are.

I got hold of a used BlizzardPPC Accelerator for the Amiga 1200.
This was a 25MHz 68040 with 175MHz 603e PPC Processor.
I sent it away for upgrade and when it arrived I had a 50MHz 68060 (clocked at 66MHz) and 300MHz 603e PPC (clocked at 330MHz)
