Do you have military grade chips in your Amiga?
« on: September 11, 2003, 03:14:35 AM »
Do you have military grade chips in your Amiga?  You should check and see if you do.  The first run Amiga 1000 and 2000 computers had them.  The military grade ICs have purple-pink ceramic bodies and gold-platted legs.  They are designed to last about 15 years at 100% duty cycle.  Since the average Amiga user only uses their computer for about 6 hours per day, this is only a 25% duty cycle, so the military grade chips will last between 30 to 60 years.  They can still be damaged by static-electricity and power surges, so be carefull.  If you have any of these ICs in your Amiga 1000 or 2000 computer, I would be willing to buy them from you.     :-D

To amigaguy:

I am going to install them into my 3 Amiga 2000HD computers.  I also want to have backups sitting in my closet, so I will need about 5 of each custom Amiga chip, 5 68010 processors, and 10 of the 8520 ICs.  I am also looking for the military spec DRAMs, but these are extremely rare.  I need about 32 of the DRAMs.     :-P

To DonnyEMU:

You are wrong!  I happen to have those military grade custom ICs in one of my Amiga 2000HDs.  I even have a military grade 68010 processor in all 3 of my Amiga 2000HD computers.  In my first Amiga 1000 computer, ALL 3 of the Amiga custom chips, both of the 8520s and the 68000 microprocessor were all military spec.  They looked just like what was pictured in those old Amiga ads.     :-D

To CU_AMiGA:

No, I would never trade an Amiga 2000HD professional computer for an Amiga 1200.  I actually think that the Amiga 2000HD is a much nicer computer then the Amiga 1200.     :-D
