You said earlier that you didn't want to go there, so I didn't...then you did go there, so I replied.

If you just don't wanna talk about it, don't, I'm not forcing you to, but if you do, I am going to reply.

that's kind of nice !

Yeah, I suppose...after stuffing you around and wasting your time by sending an untested memory card originally, that you had to return (at your expense?), then being a dick trying to make out like it was your MPC at fault.

Sounds like you will get it sorted properly soon.

Watch out for doukidouks and hugysound, they work individually and as a team. They buy mainly MPC60's/ASQ-10's 'upgrade' them to the max with their 'parts' and resell for as much as they can get. I sold an ASQ-10 to one of them, who literally begged me for it, and to my surprise it was resold on ebay fully upgraded by the other member of this French team (I know because the ASQ-10 had a cigarette burn on a specific button). I think there may be a third member, can't remember his name right now. But they produce memory boards, SCSI boards, EPROM's, floppy drives ect, and have access to lots of internal/external parts from broken machines.

Their communication is really bad, unless they want something from you. hugysound now appears to have London listed a his location in addition to France and the US, to try and get more international sales from the sceptical.

Good thing about ebay is you can check the sellers feedback and see exactly who has been buying 'stuff' from these guys. As ever CAVEAT EMPTOR applies.

Might be toshiro75, but they were only selling 3.50, with different stickers to the others, so was not sure if they were related or not.

Look, we've been through all this several times before. 1TIME4URMINDS, its good to have you on the forums and supplying memory/SCSI boards for our machines on ebay which are no longer available elsewhere. But the Vailixi/ Linn EPROM situation is an issue which clearly divides opinion. So im going to end this before it spirals out of control. If you want to discuss RAM or SCSI boards or other stuff relating to the MPC60/3000, you are most welcome.

Regardez, nous avons vécu tout cela à plusieurs reprises. 1TIME4URMINDS, il est bon de vous avoir sur les forums et les fournisseurs de mémoire / SCSI conseils pour nos machines sur ebay qui ne sont plus disponibles ailleurs. Mais la situation Vailixi / Linn EPROM est une question qui divise clairement opinion. Donc, je vais y mettre fin à cette avant qu'elle n'échappe à tout contrôle. Si vous voulez discuter cartes RAM ou SCSI ou d'autres choses relatives à la MPC60/3000, vous êtes les bienvenus.
