Several PPC cards on Amibench

[JaXanim]

When I saw this thread had resurfaced today, I thought great! Someone's received their board. But no. No word yet, even tho' the first ones really should have arrived by now.

Having been scammed out of £200 by the Silica stores collapse a few years ago, I'm beginning to have a very, very slight feeling of deja vu.

We've not been shafted, have we? Tell me we've not been shafted! OK, tomorrow's another day and they'll be here.....they will be here!

About my BPPC order.

I will start panicing only if I don't receive it within 3 weeks. So far, it's been in transit for 5 business days. Still too early to jump to conclusions, as the card was shipped from Germany and I'm in Canada.

I hope things go alright. Can't wait to see if someone actually makes a post with a confirmation of receival. :-)

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

This i fun i bought one 2 and are still waiting for the card.. But i checked this guy out.. his address dosent match with the name that he gave in the mail.. but its good that germany have a phone book on the net.. so i have this guys real address and other info if ppl dont get there stuff. For more info mail me at flowman@flowman.ath.cx . And its now gone 2 weeks since i orderd my card.. and swedish post office told me it should take up to 5 working days.. hmm werid =)

I have ordered a BlizzardPPC too. I got an E-mail yesterday that the money has arrived and he is sending it today.

With a bit of luck I will have it next week or the week thereafter. The post offices don't allways work that quickly.

[NightShade737]

Yeah, I would call 5 working days optimistic. It has taken up to 3 months for some parcels to arrive when I ordered from abroad.

On the other hand, Germany is very close to Sweden. It should not take more than 7 to 10 business days, from Germany to Sweden.

Has he actually mentioned HOW he is shipping them to anyone? For instance, via TNT or EMS I can get stuff from Hong Kong to the UK in less than 3 days, but via normal parcel service, stuff from the US to the UK takes a few weeks, normally more.

[punkpie]

No had hasn't.  But I did send him an email asking how he did send it.  He charged me £11 for postage so I take it most be some sort of standard parcel thing.  Does anyone know about mail in Germany?

[JaXanim]

OK, on the assumption that my card will arrive sometime in the near future, can anyone confirm the type of SIMMs the BPPC/060 will accept.

Am I right in thinking the standard, double-sided 72-pin SIMMs (EDO and/or FPM) are OK?

yup

I remember seeing quite a few posts about people saying that their card died from using EDO SIMMs (but were ok again if they changed back to FPM) but it happened over time.

Do either the BPPC or the CSPPC take advantage of EDO SIMMs or do they just ignore the extra features anyway?

I've only ever used EDO simms in my Blizzards. They just ignore any "extra" features.

Hi Folks, :-)

I think we sent the money to his secretary or something, he told me. Cos i managed to write both his and her name down!!! :lol: It too cost me £11 for the postage, so i take it he would use some kind of postage/parcel thingy. I remember buying a PPC card from someone in England, and it took just over a week for me to recieve it. So i think i should recieve it later next week or early week after. Surely too many people have brought the PPC cxards for this to be a scam, surely?!

Cheers,

@CU_AMiGA:

I sure hope you are right. :-)
