Don't be so quick to judge the DCE B1260 boards. Their only crap line of products were the PPC cards, and from within those, mostly CSPPCs were in question and very few BPPCs. I used to own a DCE B1260 and I liked it much more than the Phase 5 version, since it was one of the last ever produced B1260 cards with a true 60Mhz 060 chip on it (made in 2002), clocked at 66Mhz and a SIMM socket designed specifically with tower units in mind, which enabled easy use of 128MB modules on both the SCSI kit and 1260 card itself.

So to summarize, DCE products are very well made, other than the notoriously piss poor PPC cards, that they produced.

I am not sure how related they were, but probably very close. It could really be that Phase 5 used DCE facilities for manufacturing...my guess is as good as yours. :-? And, after Phase 5's bankrupcy, DCE simply decided to continue what P5 were doing, and bought out the licenses.
