WTB: Cyberstorm PPC

[Kronos]

I don't know. The cost of the components on a Cyberstorm PPC aren't anywhere near that high.
I'm not

Obsolete parts (and pretty much all parts on the CSPPC are obsolete by now) often have an extremly high asking price when bought NOS.

Then you would need to organize production and end up with a product that can't be sold legally in the EU (unless you do miracle work in turning 15++ years old part RoHS-compatible).

Also remember that the prices are only so high because the small group of potential buyers is meet with an even smaller group of potential sellers.

Just won't work buisness wise.

This is surely way over head for pure hobbist and as soon as you make any kind of buisness out of it your bound bind the law (and yes thats a goog thing).

Neither Applied Micro nor Freescale over 100% pincompatible and RoHS friendly 603/604s and a redisign would blow costs out of water (mind you "we" will probraly also fail at getting the pcb-layout from Phase5/DCE anyways).

If you think that is simple, just look back at all the effort Jens had to put into his rather simple 030 bases ACA-cards.

Sounds "wrong" as Mr Dellert wasn't part of Phase5. The name that pops up in my mind is Wolf Dietrich who was the "CEO" of Phase5 and therefore responsible for mishandling the G3/4-prepay money.

All AFAIR/AFAIK offcourse

actually I think you are "wrong" as I never stated Dellert worked for phase 5. I said Dellert is "DCE" and he now owns the rights to the phase 5 ppc boards afaik..

Thats why I wrote this:
>It would have to be Thomas Dellert this is the ahole who owns "DCE" he
>is the guy really responsible for the whole Phase5 going under debacle.
sounded wrong ...

Mr Dellert did buy out all PuP related designs (CS-PPC,BPPC,CV-PPC,BVision and GRex) from the Phase5 bancruptsy and he later mishandled warranty repairs for these cards but I see no evidence he had any hand in bringing Phase5 down.

That was due to Phase5 not keeping their balance-sheet in order while developing HW that either never made it to the market or that didn't sell on the market...
