Do you have military grade chips in your Amiga?

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.

Lets be perfectly clear here, there are no mil-spec amiga custom chips.    The parts pictured here are ceramic, gold lead parts, but that in no way makes them mil-spec, which would require 883B (or one of its derivatives classification) and the -55C to +125C mil-temp range that is going to be an issue with Amiga Custom chips.  Also any mil-spec part is going to say it on the chip, by number, classification or alternate part number, I dont see any of that on the examples being shown here.

Military grade chips, I can believe this.. I know NASA used countless Amiga based machines, (information is dotted around the net, I also remember an old Amiga CU mag stating this)
2 of witch are ending out into space...
1 being the early Mars explorer, (cheap to build and reliable too).. not forgetting the 100`s of satillites orbiting us everyday...I would be interested in knowing the chip IC-MC51XXXXX number..

There are no amigas in space, nor have their ever been.  We did one to Zero-G on the Vomit Comet (a 2000 thats in my closet and a Toaster & Flyer) thats also the first NLE to do Zero G.   NASA did use a bunch of Amigas, at one point we probably had close to 100 here at Marshall alone, but there arent used that much anymore, over the years most have been replaced.
