Title: Whats up with DCE?
Post by: pyrre on April 30, 2007, 03:21:24 PM

Some while ago I posted that I have problems running my BVision (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=28543) card. And that I was in contact with DCE (by phone). They were to send me a disk, that supposedly should upgrade my firmware to get the BVision to work...

But now the second week is passing by, and no disk...
Whats up with DCE?

DCE is still in business, unfortunately, the Amiga no longer is their business.

Yeah, I mailed them about upgrading rev on a bppc. They had stopped Amiga stuff in 2004 i think.

That is the same reply I got from them when I called them.
But the guy I spoke to said he'd send a floppy disk that would contain the firmware upgrade... That is now two weeks ago...
I will call them in the morning, for the last time...
If i don't get any help then, I will put away my Amiga, again.. for some time... A loooong time....

Isn't it possible to source that Firmware update through the internet?

Why anyone would want DCE to repair their hardware is beyond me.  Do a search.

Because so far DCE is probably the only company with the required tecknology to repair the PPC cards...
Especially when it comes to firmware upgrade...
