1-2 pages down it describes the boot colors on the amiga...
To me it looks like a bad CIA chip...maybe?

Dawiper to the rescue.
Here's one source for spare parts:

http://www.amigashop.com/shop.php?k=64f22fd4ae33fe70bfea6e60c382fafd&s_2=&grp=2

Here's a link to their: "For foreigners" info.

This is where I get all my Amiga stuff. They are ok!:)

The price is in NOK(norwegian currency). One cia chip equals $35.

PS: Benchtesting ANYTHING on antistatic bags is a BAD IDEA!! They're made of an electrically conductive material, which will cause short circuits across all of the pins along the botom of the board.

Really? I guess its a miracle I haven't blown up 10's of pc-motherboards + my a1200. If the bags was electrically conductive they wouldn't give much shielding for static electricity...

They are a shield *because* they are conductive, they contain metal. Any electricity stays on the surface of the bag, not flowing to the contents.

Once again I spoke without doing some research.:-D Yes most are "metalized", and some are not. With some bad luck this could probably make trouble. Sorry about my incorrect statement.
From now on I will not benchtest amigaparts on such bags. I will however continue testing pc parts on esd bags. :-D
