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.
Exactly.. What Doommaster is saying would mean, that just about every PGA cased Intel processor made before the pentium mmx was military grade.. (the MMX was in a black fiberglass package with the die inside a small metal case on top)
How do I tell? Well they have a purple case with gold legs!
I've even got military grade chips in one of my older C-64s!
Come on, get real. Ceramic packaging was commonly used back in the day. Plastic took over because it's cheaper. It's true that ceramic packaged chips last longer, but that's only because the heat conducts away from the die better.
