Teemu I. Yliselä writes: Thomas Dellert of DCE has issued a statement where he promises that phase5's current PPC and graphics cards will become available again within a few months and repair service will be offered for them. Also a new graphics card is planned. No news on the G4 front, though. Click below for details.
  • BlizzardPPC will be available in 2 months, BVision and CVisionPPC will be available in 2 weeks.
  • DCE takes over the repair service for these products. Owners of older cards need to make itself thus no concerns here.
  • We already acquired the exclusive rights at the products in April 1999. We do not pay royalties at P5. rather the rights by a unique payment were acquired. Perfect contracts exist. The availability of the products is secured.
  • I had 2 days ago a meeting with Ralph Schmidt and franc Mariak. We are us united to co-operate in the future very closely. There will be new software updates for these boards.
  • a Permedia3 based BVisionPPC, CVisionPPC is planned for current boards. Frank Mariak (CGX) will create the drivers.
  • With the entire technical Know How of the company Phase5 we have now a powerful package. For the time being however only as dual CPU solution.
  • Whether we decide for a G4 project, I cannot say at present however yet.
I'm not sure if this is from the same source as the interview posted on amiga-news.de, which contains additional details.

There is one misunderstanding: DCE will also repair older boards. Dellert said: "DCE will take over repair services for those products. So, owners of elder boards don't have to worry about that."

Nice to see DCE "step up to the plate" during this situation. Now if they could only do something to
speed up repairs, releases, manufacturing, etc.

I hope DCE are going to take the time to address the power and stability
problems that many people have had with the BlizzardVision, and perhaps even
ship them with fans on the Permedia chip, and maybe power headers on the card
itself to ensure enough juice gets through.
The new planned Permedia3 card should be worth waiting for, though, as long
as it takes into consideration the points above.

Does anybody know how the Permedia 3 compares to contemporary 3D chips on gfx boards for the "PC"?
