CyberStorm sent to DCE for repair

[AmiGR]

Sorry... Not a single Pegasos board is to be repaired by DCE employees...

[aardvark]

Basically we got DCE to do a new production to produce new boards for the ones that were sent in under warranty, otherwise they would probably just have sent back the old (broken) cards.

Well, I don't have any boards with them (although I do have a CSPPC card in my 3000T and it would be nice to know there's someplace that could repair it), but I think if they are going to manufacture some for warranty replacement that it would be nice for them to manufature more for all the people who will wanting be wanting to run AOS 4.0 or MorphOs on their classic Amigas.  If they have absolutely no intention of selling any new boards, then the least they could do would be to release the associated software, hardware designs, etc. to public domain.  Then others who have the capability could produce and modify these boards.  Cheap Taiwanese produced PPC boards at faster clock speeds anyone?

Hi,

Here's a short update from my visit to DCE.

The sockets are there. DCE has stock of 9 pieces 604e CPUs, more pieces are ordered to complete all outstanding issues.

The first 9 boards will be sent to the customers waiting for replacements in order of the original admittance date. Franco, your boards are among these. The rest will follow once the 604e's are in, but this won't take long as they're not that hard to get.

The production will happen as soon as the current PegII production is finsihed, which basically means end of this week.

Cheers,
Ron

Excellent. Thanks for the update.

oh well i hope everyone who consider buying a pegasos knows what "might" happen in the future with their broken boards or what ever..

I don't know about broken Pegasos boards, but Genesi sure already has replaced MANY of them (Some even 2 times)

What I mean, is when first Pegasos users got free exchange to April-1 board, and later exchange to April-2 board. And from what I've heard, it worked quite well.
And I see no reason, why broken boards couldn't be handled in the very same way.

In fact, I had a minor problem on my board, and I was offered a swap to new board, but as the problem was so small, I fixed it myself instead :-)

Awsome news indeed! I am looking forward to running MOS on my A3000!!!! Thanks so much. I just hope this is all true.

[kolla]

MOS on A3000?
Uhm... when?

[Acill]

If you have a CSPPC card then it will be out soon. Or you can run the older beta now even.

Ok...here's my scoop on this comment.  Hold your breath!

I ordered my Pegasos1 from Pegasos UK Ltd. on May 14, 2003 and it was quickly delivered a few days later (I live in Texas). I hooked the board up and was delighted with it right away. I went to bed with Peggy doing some compiling in Debian. When I woke up, Peggy was dead. Never booted again. I sent an email to Pegasos UK and Bill Buck. The service I got was outstanding. Mr. Buck had them send me a new board very quickly and cc'd the emails to me so I would be advised of the progress. They didn't even have me send the old board back to them until later. I am absolutely positively delighted with Genesi and their staff. I will buy from them again!! Soon I hope as soon as I save up my penny's for a Peg2.

Well when DCE returns to me a working board I will feel much better anbout the products they manufacture for others. As for now I am still very mad about the fact that our boards were found in a storage just sitting idle.

[dslcc]

Now that I've read the entire thread, I think I have a better
understanding of the situation. Hopefully this will all be resolved
soon? Good luck.

Hey, nice to see another Texan on here  :-D

Hi all,

the impressions about one of the first PegasosII delivered today, seem good.

Take a look HERE.

Now, that the PegasosII production has been completed, would have to be begun the CSPPC production, as promised by Ron.
