Remake Amiga chips?

[Crusher]

How hard is it today to remake Amiga chips like Ramsey, Super Buster and so on.
I mean these chips ain´t new and soon they will break down and no spare to get.  :-)

pjhutch, I can see your point but I´m not interrested in forgetting my old Amiga. That´s like saying to a owner of a classic Porsche to get rid of it and buy a new one. So you´re talking to deaf ears  :-P

Imagine this then, there are people that make new acceleratorcards (like Oli, nice fellow) so why would it be so hard to make new customchips, maybe not exactly the same in shape but ones that fit into the sockets and maybe are slightly faster. I mean, if you install an acceleratorcard then everything is going faster but the motherboard is still going in 27MHz (or whatever it is) so why not making faster customchips?

The really first chips weren´t made in machines, they were made in a garage (although they were very big), so the need of a factory isn´t necessary.

Oh. Merry christmas and a Happy new year.  :-)

Hmm.. (please don´t misunderstand me)
The only thing your attitude is doing ("move on..." and "Forget the old ones...") is just resulting in the opposite. People who tell me that is not possible and so on, just convinces me more that it can be done. Yes, you are right I don´t know much of this but I know that if it has been built, if I can imagine it then it can be built(again). I´m just going to look further, so thank you for giving me inspiration too bad you couldn´t help me.  :-)

Wain, you misunderstood me anyway, I don´t condemn them. It´s just that if someone tells me that it isn´t possible then I´m convinced that it is possible. :-)
Yes I know that this question has been up many times and everyone says that it can´t be done and still new things are made, everyday is a new day to invent stuff. By the way, I´m brainstorming still.

Fats, how about reversed engineering? Those FPGA´s sounds interresting but then I guess I have to make an adapter so they can be connected directly to the custom-chip-sockets?

The other thing almost everyone is talking about is the cost, I´m not interrested in the cost right now. I know it will cost alot, I´m only interrested in how to make these chips.  :-)

Wow, I knew there would be people that knew this. I´ll read everything. Thank´s guys. If you got more, just post´em.  :-)
