Military-Spec 68000 Processor for Amiga 2000 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2769915039&category=4598)
-
I saw this too, but I didn't want to say anything... :-)
-
well, he sure knows how to market stuff!
-
Wow, $9.95 for a 68000, who'da thunk it.
I'm gonna have to start calling all my auctions "Military Spec" :-D
-
Does anyone know what happened with DoomMaster's business transaction with tony23?
-
Are you friends with doomaster he likes militry spec stuff. :-)
-
Well I dont know about being Mil-Spec or not, but I did just open up some of the computers here I work on here (US Navy) and there are a few that use Motorola 680x0 CPUs. The do look the same as the ones Doomy talks about.

There was a 68EC020 in my mums washing machine. What does that rate? Laundry spec?

Wasn't the 020 the first fully 32-bit 'clean' 68k?
:-D

I guess this one was :-)
I was a little surprised to see it when a technician had to come around to service the washing machine. He pulled it apart, and there was this embedded system with a 16MHz rated 68EC020 sat in the midst of some DRAMs and other bits and bobs.
I had an unexpanded A600 at that time and was slightly peeved at the notion my mum's washing machine was probably considerably more powerful :lol:
-
It has a ceramic body that dissipates heat better then the more common plastic-bodied 68000 processors
Uhm, what heat can a poor 68000 produce anyway?

... the EC020 were slightly soiled ;-)

That reminds me of a time in the mid 90's when I started taking every electronic device I could find to bits, to see if they had a 68K cpu in them... None did, but many had Z80s... :-(

Gold Plated HeatSink?? where? :-? Isn't that just the chip's "guts"?

Yup, the gold cover comes off if you heat it (it's only held on with a bit of solder).
Under there is the chip. It's not a heat sink, it's simply the cover to the chip cavity.
As far as I can tell, the "Mil-spec" chips are simply early verions of the chip which have to be wired up by hand, later chips can probably be done by machine and sealed in a plastic case in one go.

I know that they got into a big spat on Amigaworld.net, hence where he has fled to, under the pseudonym 'A2000King', I believe.
Doomie played dumb, stating that he 'never received the package' and that they should 'discuss this in private', instead of on a 'forum'.

Methuselas, your avatar is so cool :roflmao: did you make it yourself?

No, my friend Doris sent it to me. She said it reminded her of me, 'cos I'm a leo and was a sniper in the military. Seems to fit me. I use it as my avatar now for just about everything. :-D
-
Methuselas was here.
-
how much do you think we could get??
I`d say a 150+ thread if he finds out about it :-D

Maybe we should put up an ebay auction for a 'village idiot' and post it with Doomie's face?

Depends,
Is it a standard village idiot, or a military spec one ? :-D
-
Do we really have to do this? *sigh*

As stated in the Auction, it's for the one, the ONLY Military Spec'ed, DoomMaster.
@Argo,
I'll take it down, if it bother's you. :roll: Seriously.

Do you really have to switch from Argo to Argo_AFK every 15 minutes on #Amiga.org (j/k, I'm bored), this thread creates the same kind of nuisance as XChat does when stupid new meaningless messages get posted by a bot or some such and I have to keep clicking back to the red blinky tab, to check if anything interesting is happening...
I saw this chip too on E-bay couple days back, I just got worried...

;-) It does seem a little overdone. How about we leave DoomMaster alone, instead of fanning the flames?

which reminds me, did the AO vs AW Quake match (or Unreal or whatever) ever happen?

Didn't that all fall apart when everyone started arguing again, over the same old crap?

So anyway, my mums washing machine had this 68EC020 and....
/me looks at the angry faces...
What? !

Yeah, I was in the IRC channel that was put up for that occasion. IIRC there was only 1 a.orger playing :-/. (I don't have UT).

I thought so too. Apart from the fact I had an unexpanded A600 at that time...:lol:

Has Doomy changed his ebay acount?

Hi all,
onestly, i was one of the first to play with DoomMaster posts, for 1, 2 10 times then . . . when i'm began to understand that Doom is something "more than a so-called troll", i've stopped to reply him.
Ciao

What are you trying to say? That DoomMaster is really a secret agent or Amiga spy?!

No, just that he's 'hard of thinking'.
I knew this lad once, who swore blind that his dad's old Bristol (http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/index2.htm) would beat any motorbike on the planet from 0-60. He just would not have it that racing bikes smoke just about anything on 0-60 times, never mind that knackered old banger.
