Weekly update about CSPPC at DCE

[Framiga]

. . . no reply here :pissed:

Ciao

OT- Addio Marco, ci mancherai

[Acill]

Nothing at all came back to me when I wrote him. I expect we will hear nothing all we have become used to these days. I have set a date of March first. After that I have talked to a lawer about what I can do. He told me if we all get together and tell the story, show this thread and the other as proof we have a good chance at winning a case against DCE. His services will not be to bad, and no fee will be charged if we loose.

[Framiga]

Hi Acill,

if nothing will happen within your established date (March first), we are with you too.

At this point, no other way.

Cheers

I can see why you all are so angry and upset, but I can follow you when you talk abot legal actions ? What's the point ? Where is the difference between a card you will never see again (or at least for a very long time) and a card tha is right in front of you but dead ?
DCE isn't exactly swimming in money and those repares are only done when they have a little sparetime and even then it will only one person takeing a look at say one or two cards. I have a dead 060/200 myselfe. I would never dream of sending it in for repair, as I wouldn't expect to see it back before 1 year, if ever.

[Acill]

The point is some of us bought NEW cards and they never worked at all. They were sent in for warrenty repairs and just kept. DCE said they would build new cards for those of us that had a warrenty claim and it would take four weeks. That was over 3 months ago now. My card alone had been at DCE for over two years now. When Ron went to DCE to help us out they found the cards all put away out of sight and basicly they had no clue as to where they all were. I paid $875 for my card when it was new. Thats just me. Think of all the others that should have working cards still under the warrenty period. Thats a lot of money DCE made and just kept. Its wrong and should not be allowed to get away with. If they do it, then why not others. Its companies like this that hurt the reputation of Amiga and I for one will not let someone take me as a sucker or be taken advantage of. So like I sad as of the first of March I start legal action against them.

@ Lemmink

?!?

[puppy]

what is missing in all this, is communication. There's a lack of it between users and users (how many we are?), and DCE and users.
why don't we create a webpage so that we can realise about the state of the situation.
We can put our serial and then DCE can display status of the board, expected repairing time. Maybe we can just learn that if we are hundreds or thousand people, we can all cooperate buying in advance the micros so that DCE hadn't to pay for us to the provider (i think that is the REAL question)
Anyone willing to be a webmaster? what about amiga.org help? :-)

Building a web page would be a great idea and was even mentioned before. The problem is DCE. They dont answer the phoen or take calls. They do not reply to emails or even snail mail requests. As far as I can see even Ron isnt getting any information back from them now. What would make you think they would be willing to even update a web page when they cant even take the time to reply to an email about the subject?!

Well that is another story. I though you were all upset about the repair of some old cards takeing a hell of a long time.

[lempkee]

dce is DCE , they will never send your cards back..

please stop this ludicrus discussion! , its beginning to annoy me again..

seriously if they wanted to resolve this then they would have sent you the cards allready, sorry for the negativity framiga and others but its time to give up..

i did anyway, long time ago...

Ron said that DCE would start repairing the cards after receiving 604e chips. He also confirmed that DCE received 68k sockets, but it's been months since that post, and no news afterwards whatsoever.

Ron, can you please post an update? Were you able to get in touch with DCE? Were you able to go to DCE directly by any chance? Will you go to DCE some time soon? What is your estimate on some upcoming new developments on this issue?

Thanks.

[x56h34]

Ron,

Also please don't forget that you are our only hope. We really need your help. I know that you are busy and don't have too much time to invest at helping out some bunch of strangers from all over the world getting their cards back, but please, and I think I speak for all of us here, try it your best at resolving this long and painful issue.

Hi Guys,

Since the last update I did not get through to Mr. Dellert to ask about the repairs. All I know is that he confirmed to me that the parts were there to build a small batch to take care of the oldest repair stuff, among which would be the boards for Framiga. For the other boards, more 604s were ordered but had not gotten in yet.

This first batch was to be done in january but obviously has not. My *guess* is that they are waiting for more 604s to come in and do everything at once. This would not have been my choice but it's not for me to decide. However, this is just a guess. I have not been told anything about this.

I have to go to DCE soon for other reasons and then will try to figure out more. This will be somewhere in the next two weeks, depending on some circumstances.

I will try to get it all solved any which way I can, I have committed to this. But some walls are hard to climb without tools...

Cheers,
Ron
