@Framiga:

I've bought my CSPPC card from Vesalia 6 months ago or so. I paid for a 233Mhz - PPC, 50Mhz - 060 model. What I received was a Phase 5 card which was 180Mhz PPC, 50Mhz - 060 and it was non-functional on the PPC end. They did accept it back for repair and it's now at DCE. :-) Hehe, I did try to get it fixed elsewhere, however both Amiga.fr and Hyperion said that PPC chip problems are only fixable by DCE due to special machinery that only DCE has (if you look at your 604e chip on CSPPC you'll know why...). So I've sent my card back to Vesalia as it was still under warranty and they forwarded it to DCE for repair. I was hoping to get a direct replacement from Vesalia, but I wasn't that lucky.

I now hope that Ron will be able to give me more info on the repair process. If it can't be repaired, I guess I should ask for another card from Vesalia, but I've heard that DCE can repair anything that is not related to 68k socket, as those are hard to find.
