MOS Technology buildings to be demolished!

If there are any chips there (which I humbly doubt), they need to be rescued!

Pretty much looks like any CSG stock would be gone by now...

If we cross all our fingers and toes, and wish really, really hard, someone might find the masks for the custom chips behind a filing cabinet or somewhere.

Masks for processes that probably don't exist anymore... we are much better off  with MiniMig/CloneA/NetAmi...

Yeah, but wouldn't those help improve compatibility with the Minimig and/or give it a possibility of an AGA upgrade, etc?

No, and the designs might still be covered by some kind of copyright... best to stay well clear!!!

I wonder if Amiga Inc still has them...

Amiga Inc never had them.

Don't give up hope guys. I once worked at a printing shop in the mid 90s that was previously a packaging plant.
Once while rummaging thru some crates in the back of the warehouse, I found new old stock never been opened boxes of KOTEX labeled date, 1965. So never give up hope.

:lol:

 

Err... And... well... what did you do with them?

Someone definitely pays for the groundwork there. The trees are nicely trimmed and the grass cut.

Hardly the ground zero I was expecting from the 10 years of abandonment and the EPA website about the place.

Did you take any closeups?

That's the States for you... it seems to be some kind of industrial park, the whole place probably gets tended to on a single contract.
