Several PPC cards on Amibench

I agree with Jose, GET ONE WITH SCSI. I bought the cheapest version available back in 98. The 040 is bearable but the lack of DMA SCSI is not .

Perhaps our cards are stuck in customs. That's the only explanation I can think of for the delay.

That wouldn't explain parcels sent to EU countries.....

Er....maybe a stupid question, but have you guys already tried phoning the seller :-?.

[odin]

Heck, if the problem is that the guy doesn't speak English and none of you speak German, I'd be happy to try to phone him. Then again, I gather he emailed in English so that wouldn't be the problem I think :-)

-edit-

I don't think we have his number yet

Tried the German phonedirectory? :-).

[odin]

Hm, I just had a first hand experience with postal services mucking up. Ryu sent me a PCMCIA NIC on Feb. 26th. I only received it today :crazy:.

So there's hope for you all yet :-).

[color=FF0000]CALL THE GUY!!!!!!!!!!!![/color][/b][/u]

......

[odin]

Well...since no one has bothered to phone the guy, I think it's safe to say nobody really cares whether they actually receive their cards......:roll:

[odin]

Oh dear, this doesn't sound good :-(. Isn't there a reverse lookup database of the German phone dictionary? In NL there's a semi-illegal site where you search solely by address or by phone number and lookup the corresponding name.
:nervous:

Oh and 'handy' is indeed German for 'cellphone'.

[odin]

If it were in North-West Germany I'd be happy to hop over the border in a train. Unfortunately it's all the way down south, near Strassbourg.

[odin]

And you running off with more of the guys' money eh? ;-)

I've had a look at kralle900's ebay feedback and there was one user who left a negative. I've contacted this user via Ebay's system asking if he/she would be willing to provide a phone number/address.

I expect no response though :-).

And I've made a bid on a Cloanto CD kralle900 is selling (for the whopping price of 1EUR %-) ).

[odin]

Hmmm...but if with a direct bank transfer the name/address/number don't match up, it will not be carried out. Or will it?

[odin]

I think indeed that if you show up with a receipt from Deutsche Post at an office of the Canadian postal services, the guy/gal behind the counter will give you a very naff look....

So he is alive and kicking =)

Where'd you get the number from then?

I just won an auction on EBay by kralle900. It's getting weird:
------------------------------------------
Rekeninghouder: Rene Nandke
Bankrekeningnummer: XXXXXXXX
ID-code bank: XXXXXXXXX
Naam bank: Postbank München
De verkoper zegt:
Kontoinhaber und ebay-Mitgliedsname sind nicht identisch - aber das ist in Ordnung.
-------------------------------------------
The last bit says that the EBay-membername and the accountholder's names are different. And that it is okay...

I requested the contact details of 'kralle900' from EBay, and that's our Mr. Toth:

Gebruikersnaam:    kralle900

No phone number or address given.....
