I know exactly what you`re going through.....after 3 years service, my BPPC
died. :(

Option 1.

Send it to DCE and wait for who knows how long.....6 or maybe even 12 months
for a repair......no thanks!

Option 2.

Be computer-less for who knows how long until A1 is released.......no
thanks!

Option 3.

Buy a used BPPC, to tide me over until A1 is released.....no
thanks....complete waste of money.

Option 4.

Build a PC......salvaging my HD, CD-RW, VooDoo3, Zip, monitor, modem,
keyboard and mouse from my Amiga. I chose this option.

This is what really narks me about the Amiga market just now.......there`s
no support when things go wrong. :(

TBH, I don`t miss the Amiga......my PC boots quicker, the PC crashes less
and I can play Counter-Strike.

Slainte Mhath,

Chris
