Was looking at the AA+ Wikipedia article linked in another thread, and clicked the associated link for the Amiga Ranger chipset article here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Ranger_Chipset
It says this:
I call BS. Jay Miner told me that a 128 color chipset did not exist many years ago in a BBS chat.
Does anyone know where the info that a Ranger chipset was complete came from?
I know a supposed Ranger prototype was in the possession of Dale Luck, but that was a system design prototype and not a chipset.
What that states is that the chipset was designed and tested, it doesn't say it was produced.
When Lorraine was first shown, it wasn't an integrated chipset yet, just a design implemented via discrete logic.
Design and testing of a chipset occurs BEFORE its implemented in silicon, as changes become much more difficult once its in dedicated silicon.
