[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Microbotics

cac5961@rouge.usl.edu (Castor Christian A) (03/17/91)

   Almost two months ago, I placed an order for a Microbotics Hardframe
on a mail order business (Creative Computers).   During that time
they kept saying that in "just a couple of days they would get their
shipment from Microbotics." Needless to say, it never arrived.  
   The last time I called (a few days ago), they admitted 
that "there maybe some kind of trouble at Microbotics."   They even
offered to sell me a different brand SCSI card. Being a little curious,
I called a bunch of other Amiga mail-order places. Surprisingly, none
of them had the Hardframe on stock (but they said that they could order
it from Microbotics).
   I would be grateful if somebody would EMail me the Microbotics' phone
number, so I can check what is happening over there.
   Anybody else knows about something wrong going on
Microbotics?

(Quoting my own message?  Strange   ;-)

Well, I called Microbotics (thanks to all that responded). Surprised, they
told me that there was no such a problem in supplying hardframes.
To my dismay, they quoted the price of the hardframe at $160. [Creative
Computers sells hardframes for $230].  I'm happy I was in time to
cancel the order from them.
   In conclusion, beware of Creative Computers in the future.  Not
only they sell overpriced, but also, they are quite inefficient.
