Title: Doomy on Ebay
Post by: x56h34 on October 20, 2003, 05:02:59 AM
...I think... :-) Check it out:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2760257273&category=4598

Just look at the description of the item. :-)

So it seems that he does own some "toy" hardware. ;-)

"The 68030 and 68882 are military-spec ICs"

Hehe, and it's from beaverton.

Yes, that is my auction.  No, I do not own any "toy" hardware, I only sell the Amiga 1200 crap.     :-D

Yes, these ICs are military spec.  The newer versions of these same chips have plastic bodies with tin legs and heatsink.     :roll:

Unfortunately, just because something is made out of ceramic and has gold legs does not make it Military Grade.  As a matter of fact most Military IC's are plastic.  Ever heard of MTP?  Mil-Temp PLASTIC?  

Have you ever heard of MIL-STD-883B?  It's a standard that must be met for a chip to be "Military Grade"

The part needs to be assembled to MIL-STD-883B standard.

The part needs to go through reliability screening  of the MIL-STD-883B standard.

They have to be tested to handle extreme temperatures from -55 to 125 degrees C.   And where the temperatures are extreme and the humidity is high, chips have to be MTH   Mil-Temp Hermetic.

And it goes on and on... There is a process the chips have to go through.  They have to be tested and proven to work in extreme conditions.  They have many many many requirements to meet.  You don't just get to gold plate some pins and assume the Military would use it for chr1st sakes!!

Just who do you think you are talking too?  I know all this stuff already.  I just happen to be a Class 4 Electronics Assembler.  I have worked on Top Secret military contracts, so I know what I am talking about.  Anyway, the type of mil spec I am talking about is an electronics assembly spec.  It has nothing to do with the military.  There are 3 classifications of electronics assembly.  They are Consumer Spec, Military Spec and Weapons Spec.  Stuff that is produced for the military actually falls under the Weapons Spec catagory.     :roll:

Don't you think it's about time you stopped throwing around your job title like it has some sort of meaning?

Electronics Assembly is a entry level job that requires no more than a highschool diploma and the ability to follow directions.

If you really knew your beans about electronics, you wouldn't be an assembler.

Ok, Ok, I understand the Military Spec thing is a bit of a running battle, but why should you suppose that he is dishonest regarding his auctions? Its wrong for you to assume that 'he is a con', you should know better than to make such assumptions - have you ever bought anything from him? Have you ever heard from anyone who has?

Just because you do not agree with his views does not give you the right to accuse him of being an eBay 'con'. How do you know how honest a trader he is?

Telling people that he has mil-spec chips is a lie. I don't understand how you cannot see a problem with that. It's obviously false advertising.

This is your military spec?

If so, you define all PGA ceramic packages military spec? Enlighten us, you mighty engineer!

@iamaboringperson:

I would appreciate that if you quote me, you could actually quote and not paraphrase.

Secondly, the statement may be misleading on the 'mil-spec' stuff. The truth is I don't know and really DON'T CARE. I suspect most people buying Amiga expansions are not really taking that into account anyway. I would be surprised if this were a major selling point.

It really just looks like a personal attack. I don't buy into any of that mil-spec stuff either, but you should attack the point and not the person.

My point is that there are limitations on what you can blindly accuse people of...

If what he is saying is incorrect, then chances are he is mistaken more than out to con people.

What he is saying is incorrect.

He has been corrected dozens of times, but he still insist he is right (when he is not).

These chips are not military spec of any kind, just normal BGA ceramic packaging used in a LOT of perfectly normal chips.

Speaking of ceramic packages and gold pins, I snapped a rather neat pic of a couple of 68040s last night. With a little postprocessing it came out pretty dang neat.

I have no clue if he is correct about the mil-spec stuff, though I find it funny as hell :lol:

But to be completely honest he has a fantastic feedback rating. So "con" might be a bit too strong.

Yeh Doomy is a mixed up dude, I think "con" is the wrong word to describe him though.

So I guess the purple one is the military-grade one?   :-D

Fair enough.

I don't reckon it's correct either, but since I don't actually know for sure, I took the less aggressive option.

There's a higher res version at http://www.danamania.com/temp/cpupins.jpg - feel free to use any/either how you like. The larger one looks a little overprocessed though.

The cpus are both about the same ceramic and colour irl, but the one laying flat picked up the blue hue from the monitor sitting about 2ft to the left of the pic, I think - the other picked up the room light which is decidedly warmer! dana

A solder jockey?

Isn't that an entry level job? Not that there's anything wrong with that, we all start somewhere, but it's hardly engineering. (I thought you were a computer teacher or something?)

It does have meaning.  It means that I do know what I am talking about when it comes to electronic assembly specs and electronic parts.

Quote
Electronics Assembly is a entry level job that requires no more than a highschool diploma and the ability to follow directions.


A Class 1 Electronics Assembler is an entry level job, a Class 4 is not.  It takes many years of experience and many years of special training and schooling to become a Class 4 Electronics Assembler.  Only Class 4 Electronic Assemblers can work on Medical Equipment or Military Contracts.  A Class 4 Electronic Assembler can also exercise Line-Coordinator and Management duties.  So no, a Class 4 Electronics Assembler is NOT an entry level position.

Quote
If you really knew your beans about electronics, you wouldn't be an assembler.


I do have a degree in Electronics and I am a Technician and Engineers Assistant.  But, because most technicians are boring geeks, I actually prefer doing electronics assembly, I think that it is more fun.  I am very good at what I do, perhaps I am one of the best electronics assemblers in the world.  I take great pride in being half English and half German and it shows in the quality of my workmanship.  I won an award for doing outstanding work in the electronics field.  I also won a Quality Workmanship Award from Fujitsu (a Japanese company).  I think that Europe has much higher quality standards then Americans.  So, I constantly live up to my European Heritage by doing European quality workmanship.     :-D

Okay, this is just one big personal attack at DoomMaster. So, I'm locking this thread. Don't like that he's calling chips mil spec? Tough, prove him wrong. Same for you DoomMaster. I'd like to see actual documentation that stated what is Military spec, something we can all look up and verify. This has gone on long enough and is getting old so lets end it.
I've also seen is eBay feedback, very good. Better than most I deal with.
