It's been a while since last time i purchased any hardware for my girlfriends.
I would like too get them to display a better picture on a LCD monitor.
However.
On amigakit the ecs scandoubler is at backorder, and the aga scandoubler (both beeing the indivision) are not yet in store.
And on vesalia both items seemingly is in stock.
How reliable is vesalia today? have purchased from them earlier and have never had any problems.
About amigakits stock. how soon will the ECS version come in stock?
-
I've never purchased anything from Vesalia, but Amigakit is usually open about dates when they should be restocked. You should drop them an E-mail or even PM amigakit here on A.ORG.
-
I don't mean to rant any amiga resellers, there are only a few around and they have an important role in our community, however I'm just sharing my personal experience with Vesalia.
I've ordered a product from Vesalia (ACA-1231) and it didn't work with my setup. Naturally I sent e-mails asking for help in a polite manner just asking their advice. Since they didn't answer me I've forward the same e-mail a couple times stating I really could use their technical support.
That was like a month ago, they never answer me back.
It was a problem with the mobo revision that I sorted out. But If the product was defect I was really in a lot of trouble to get any help.
I'm glad their business is so good they can simply ignore customers. For me, personally, I won't risk buying from them again. :\
-
Is there any problem with returning equipment to Vesalia?
-
I've ordered several things from Vesalia and found them to be friendly and helpful. The last item was the Chameleon64. Since then I've emailed them for advice on a couple of things and received useful information.
I must admit then I tend to use them more for my 8 bit side and Amigakit for my Amiga stuff.
-

I would have after discussing the issue with them. It was just a technical support issue after all but I guess my case is one in a million.
The ACA-1231 rocks in my living room A1200 btw! :)

@pyrre
Hi
Your business is important to us. We are expecting stock next week of both the ECS and MK2 and we are accepting preorders. Thanks.
@Darrin
We sell a lot of 8bit stuff also now including Chameleon.

I shall keep that in mind. Back when I got the Chameleon you didn't have them in stock. So you've taken delivery of some of the new Chameleon batch?
To anybody reading this who enjoys 8 bit computing, grab one. They're great fun! Also, Amigakit stocks IR CD32 game pads which work with the IR sensor on the Chameleon so now you can play games wirelessly as it will emulate the input from a joystick.

I bought my Indy ECS from Vesilia, with no problems whatsoever. Got it in about a week and a half, and it worked flawlessly.
-
Ive bought things from Vesalia for about 400€ (~500$) over the last month and all orders have been quick and everything have worked fine, no problems at all with them ever.
I have no problems with Amiga kit either, spent 100-150€ over the last month there without any issues, it takes a bit longer to receive the packages sine the payments are on pending a lot longer then vesalia, but in the end no problems and everything works.
Both a great places to shop at for Amiga users, I don't favor any of em over the other, I buy where the stuff I want is in stock :)
This is my personal experience and I have never had problems with any of them ever in the past. Tho I have been lucky and never gotten anything that was defective (besides a cable once but that was just a simple solder joint I had to re-solder)

Well Amigakit and Vesilia seem to very reliable. I havent ordered from Vesila but they are one of the oldest dealers in the world. Amigakit has fulfilled my orders to my satisfaction.
However, your experience is a byproduct of all the fanboyism where you get ostracized for criticizing any amiga company even if you are in the right.
-
Indivision and Vesalia seem to walk hand-in-hand; stuff made by Indivision shows up in stock very quickly. Both Vesalia and Amigakit have big holes in their support system, although compared to Elbox everybody gets a silver star on their calendar.
-
Elbox is a pain in the ass? ;)
In what manner?
-
Uh, in the support manner?

I have been reading these will sync down to Amigas, I probably won't be able to buy one for a month or so but I want LED because I don't think my 1084 will last forever.
I have also seen 15" monitors at best buy (local big box retailer) that has rca jacks for games along with the vga and hdmi ports. They may sync down to 15khz on the rgb side but I don't know that for sure.
-
Where does it say in syncs as low as 15khz?
-
That's the thing.. it doesn't say. But it does :)
I have a Dell ST2320 and it works great. There's other 2320 models that have been reported to work as well, even though the documentation doesn't specify it.
-
vesalia is fantastic, have ordered stuff from them and had no issues.
If you are going to purchase an indivision ECS and have an Amiga 500 plus from my experience don't buy one of the new batch.
Still have one that wont play ball with my Amiga 500 plus even after receiving the patch. Have an Amiga 500 6A board on the way (taking awhile to turn up) that I'll try. Not really the solution I'm after loosking 1MB chip RAM... unless someone has a mega chip cheap? ;-)

We always like to deliver excellent customer service and especially in this small Amiga market where we operate on a full time basis, every customer and every sale is vital.
Over the two months or so, some of you may have noticed that we have moved building locations. With any moving process, it is a very stressful and seven years accumulated worth of Amiga stock being boxed up and moved has been exhausting. We have done our best to operate the business concurrently while we move the stock and each of our operations one by one to the new building. I am really pleased to report that everything is now moved over and we are settling into our new premises. So it's now back to concentrating on our Amiga business.
