Military Spec

[Pat the Cat]

There's actually a couple of different "mil specs" even in just the USA.

Mil Spec 2000 is a document detailing the exact methods and procedures for electrical connections by technicians. So an Amiga (pre SMD, anyway, just the through hole versions) could be described as "Mil Spec" if all those solder points, cable joints etc actually met that specification. Which depends on the competency (or not) of the human being assembling the components.

Mil Spec semiconductors are rated at low to average speed (compared to scientific or civilian equivalents) but operate over a much bigger temperature range, typically some degrees sub zero up to 125 Centigrade. This means they have a better chance of working correctly under stressful and / or combat conditions. Operating close to zero is iffy because of condensation issues in equipment causing water formation causing short circuits.

There are Mil Spec standard numbers for equivalents to the commercial equivalents, and in some cases they can be overclocked more because they can be overvolted more.

Not always. Overclocking is not a guaranteed success on every processor, whether civilian or military.

So, as a claim, it is not as precise as "chipheads" like us might wish.

FYI She is introduced NewTek Demo #2 (and appears in others), just that demo was never real popular.

Probably copyright violations. Or maybe memory requirements. Too bad Digi-FX never came out

First, Newtek pulled Demo #2 after 20th Century Fox threatened quite publicly to sue their arse off for unlicensed content.

Second, Digi-Fx was onsale and is listed as such, for years, in Amiga magazines. Not that I'm recommending it, but it certainly did come out on this side of the pond, so I'm not sure why you think it didn't.

Or is this some subtle reference to "coming out" in a homosexual sense? Unlikely, but I have no idea where you got these ideas from. OldsMobileMike, AKA Akira on EAB, possibly?

Digi-FX the software credited in the demo reels I don't think was ever released...

It got released in 1988.

Box was gathering dust in the office by the time I got there in 1990.

It wasn't actually very good, TBH. Adpro / Morph + kicked the crap out of it for processing, Scala kicked the crap out of it for composition of sound and picture / anim.

If you want to verify the fact, suggest you check through the old mags for places selling it. Overpriced and underspecced.

Wtf are you talking about? Go back in your cave, troll.

Yeah, I'm such a troll I just got the Newtek Demo Reel 2 uploaded to EAB and a bunch of over stuff that never got released.

See, it's amazing what you can do when you ask people nicely, rather than just being a punk with an attitude problem.

I can appreciate you and a lot of other people are very angry, but that isn't going to get you anywhere. Channel the energy, don't be a slave to anger.
