Well, technically, it is rare. But it doesn't add any value to the machine! :)

I suspect it's the result of a repair. There doesn't seem to be any battery damage, so maybe it was something else earlier in the machine's life.

Then again, C= always wanted to save every penny imaginable in component costs. Maybe blue slots were $0.00002 cheaper for this particular production run :)

@ Pat

"Mil-spec" is a running joke we have here about an infamous user known as "Doomy" (and multiple other aliases) who insisted that the A2000 was the best Amiga because it was mil-spec (i.e., used ceramic chip casings) and that all other Amigas were toys and trash. In short, he was a complete nutter.
