Several PPC cards on Amibench

[prowler]

I ordered one of the CyberStorms for an A4000 I picked up recently. I have bought from this group before (an 060) and received it fine all the way down here in Australia so I am hoping to have a 2nd good expirience with them

After going through this complete thread again, I noticed that prowler has bought (and received) stuff from this guy before.

Maybe prowler would elaborate a bit on that deal and try to reassure the rest of us that this one is (hopefully) legit?

Ah, hindsight....

The person I have been dealing with this time is different to the person I dealt with last time but the details (postal address, bank details etc) are the same. When I received the CyberStorm MKI the first time, it included a printout for a few pages and I was told that they have an Amiga club where they sell Amiga HW/SW etc and that I may be interested in buying stuff from it. I am assuming the person I am currently dealing with has something to do with this club.

It took a while for the package to turn up. Living at the arse end of the world, it tends to take some time for overseas packages to turn up .

I also got confirmation that my money had turned up and that he will be posting it tomorrow.

As for RAM, I am lucky. Where I work, we went through and upgraded a whole bunch of old machines and the memory that came out of them was 32Meg EDO Simms, so I am set. I just need the card to turn up to use them in now

Are they 72 pin though?

Indeed they are. I am currently using 4 of them in a CyberStorm MKI (Which doesnt't seem to like OS3.9 )

I WANT PPC CARD!  :-x  

-edit-

Just emailed him. And as for what we could do next there are a few possibilities.

Try and track down the card if it has been sent, if possible.
Get someone that lives in Germany to pay him a "visit".
We all meet up as a group and go down there ourselves!

Any other ideas?

Someone said on this thread though that they know him and he is reliable, apart from the delivery time.

I to want my PPC card as well as the CyberPPC GFX card I ordered. I really want to see some of those PPC demos that have been released over the last few years.

Once (if?) I get it, I should finally have an Ami setup to be proud of (And wanted since I was a starving High School student ) I have the 4000 waiting, I bought a 3.1 ROM for it to install AmigaOS 3.9 onto, 128Megs of memorya spare 40Gig IDE HD to plug into a budha controller, ethernet card and an old AD516 sound card. All I need is the PPC card, oh and also do that sound fix thing since sound seems to have died on one of the outputs

Can we do the trip option? I have never been to Germany before and it is spring there atm isn't it ? I need a holiday

This is only the third time I have ordered anything from overseas and both times before it has taken 2-3 months to get to me The date on the postage stamp also matched when they said they posted it. It is definately annoying.

:O

I wasn't all that worried about anything going wrong since I had only recently bought something from Bernd a few months ago but all this talk is starting to make me nervous.

[prowler]

It's been a while since I have realy looked at this thread but anyway. As I mentioned before, when I bought an 060 from Bernd Binder it took ~3 months to reach me and the date on the postage stamp contained the date at which he said he had posted it. So when I paid for the PPC this time (though I dealt with a Tibor but the rest of the details for bank account/address etc was the same) I just assumed it was going to be the same deal.

It also took ~3 months for some Amiga hardware I bought from the US to arrive and again, the date on the stamp was the date I was told it was posted on.

I have to admit though, after reading all that was going on here not long after the bank cheque I sent to Germany got processed, I definately started feeling a tad worried

[prowler]

Did the people who received a postal receipt have to ask to get it sent to them or did they get it automatically? I am assuming the former since as far as I know I never got one. Either that or it has been lost in the mail with my PPC accel card and GFX card.
