Weekly update about CSPPC at DCE

[Framiga]

Hi all the involved user,

this morning, Ron van Herk (aka Palpatine here on Amiga.org), has replyed to me for an update about the well known DCE saga.

Dellert isn't "reachable" ATM, so NO NEWS again.

Ron, will go to DCE the next week.

I don't know you  . . .but i'm very, very, very tired, disappointed and . . . . :-(

Cheers

PS- for the full story, go to Cyberstorm sent to DCE for repair

This entire DCE things has to be one of the worst fiasco's there has ever been in the amiga scene. If I had a card that had been lost at DCE for years and I only just got it back I would not be inclined to thank anyone... I would just be glad I had it back, and I would never send anything near DCE ever again. Fortunatly for me when I wanted to send a broken BPPC card to DCE they never replied to my emails so I didnt bother. I say that was a lucky escape.

ryu: well put it like this , i wont ever shop at DCE again... EVER! , i wont touch any new hw they make ever..

anyway i love my bppc but if it die, then i wont send it to them....

cheers

Basicly the way I look at it is like this: We are a low on the DCE list of things to get done. They dont care at all about this issue. I bought a used Phase5 one (a slower one then I had before) to get me by. This has cost me $500 I should not have needed to spend. I wanted to at least be able to get used to using it again and be ready for Os4/MOS if it came out for us. Ron has done some great work for us, but Dellert at DCE is a joke. I just cant see how a company like that can stay in business.

Are DCE still producing products for the Amiga market? I thought they left some time ago, and the cyberstorms (licensed from P5) was their last products?

There are some things that i can't understand:
- Why FrAmiga gas got response (congratulations)  from Ron and why i do not have any. I write correct Ron's mail.
- Why i do not have feed back from Ron whether he got my card. I sent to an address and it has not been returned. It's suppossed to reach Ron's hands but i am not sure. I sent 20-10-03. As i sent it, i knew that i had to wait, no matter the time i expect, but i am serious at getting to know if my card is alive.
- How many people are waiting? What about creating a web, AKA "help desk" with open cases, updates (i.e. Emilio's card is waiting a PPC from provider. it will come in 2 weeks) and so on. Of course there must be a compromise from DCE. It would show the seriousness of this company, giving an efecctive answer to every user.

- any more ideas?

hi  takemehomegrandma

the short answer in  . .no more.

. . . with a lot much patience, time to lose and last but not least . . . education :-)

Ciao

PS- it is a pity, that this same behavior, hasn't helped me with Vesalia too.

I've ordered (COD) an item at 03 Dec-2003 and i haven't received it yet.
After the Vesalia's confirmation mail . . . the dark!
No answer to my quite 10 "info request" mails.
 . . . but i'm not so much surprised . . . .after all Vesalia is a DCE partnership as well :-D

EDIT- by the way, in order to confirm the seriousness of the Vesalia society, they SELL (not pre-order . . . SELL) already from some months Amiga OS4 for CSPPC and BlizzardPPC as well :-(

Hi,

Like Franco said, no news yet until next week.

@Puppy
I got your card but not your mail. Once DCE is able to fix it it will be repaired, until that time I am keeping it here in Rotterdam and not in Oberhausen. Every time I am at DCE I try to get repairs that I bring with me done at the spot. If not possible, I take them back (just to be sure nothing gets *lost*) ;-)

Cheers
Ron

Ron:
Many thanks for your words! i'll keep patient.
(You can contact me through amiga.org, anyway i have mailed many times from @terra.es)
I do know you are helping us!

Hi Ron,

Thanks for all. And let me hope they could fix my board. It is now 10 month at DCE :pissed:.

Don't DCE still produce the Pegasos (I + II) boards?

[Golem!dk]

@hnl

Still? No, I believe bplan/Genesi are still producing the boards (using DCE's facilities).

[Troels_E]

A shame Genesi haven't got other places to get the Peg2 produced, really hate to see people that buy it indirectly support DCE.

One of the big reasons that I don't own a Pegasos!

Mr. Dellert not reachable... Typical lies from DCE!
