Title: PowerUp Registration: Update
Post by: djbase on March 17, 2008, 12:32:31 AM

This is the first update for 2008 and we do have now more than 570 registered PowerUP cards in our database. We added also a new statistics page with estimate production numbers based on the serial numbers we got.

The new statistics can be found at http://powerup.amigaworld.de/index.php?lang=en&page=43

We are still counting...

95? Late 97 I think. It's also quite doubtful that everyone with a PPC card bothers to register on that site.

I know some owners have stated they wont bother registering as "there is nothing in it for them."

@amije

makes no sense without serial. You can try SysSpeed/SysInfo or something like that (can't remember which one does) which can also report the serial.

I haven't bothered registering my CSPPC simply because it'll take too much effort to pull the A4k out of the cupboard, find the mouse/keyboard, plug in a monitor.

@DJBase: you are right but i have talk with Matthias Munch about this and we couldn't find any solution.

@AMIGAZ: i already try it, it does not work at my miggy. we had a conversation with Piru about it but he no longer develop it and he can't help.

Lets stop doing the 5000 or 6000 PPC card myth guys.  570 is much more then 10%, its somewhere between 25% and 40% of them.
