Hi,

I was reading up on other posts about the ebay PCB used for converting Tualatins to run on FC-PGA sockets and saw that someone had noticed it was based on the Lin-Lin Adapters.

Knowing that the Lin-Lin Adapters could also be configured to convert FC-PGA to PPGA, I was wondering if anybody knew how to potentially configure these PCB's to potentially run as FC-PGA to PPGA instead.
The silkscreening seems to also indicate that this capability may exist as well.

The reason I'm asking is that I want to see if I can throw a pair of Coppermine Pentium III's onto a BP6.

I tried messaging the seller but got not response so far.

An updated from the seller. He sent me this information but I'm not sure what to make of it.

Yes, my adapter can help you make to work a FCPGA CPU on PPGA socket.
However, it is not simple and I did not test it with BP6.
Technically, five key points must be considered.
a. #BLCK/CLKREF (y33)
b. #reset (x4 ah4)
c. Vtt ( Vtt pins )
d. KEY( am2 )
e. br0, br1 ( an15 to x2 or n33 )

I recommend to visit next link first.
