number 5 is the speed of a PAL A500 and 6 is the number of colours in the OCS/ECS palette.

Hi,

This is only coming off the top of my head...

1> 33.180 = Kickstart 1.2
2> 8361 = OCS Denise?
3> SCA = Swiss Crackers Association? I remember they made an Amiga virus
4> 80000004 = Illegal instruction guru error?
5> 7.14 = Clock speed of NTSC Amiga systems? I think PAL was 7.09MHz
6> 4096 = Total amount of colors in the OCS/ECS palette

So how did I go?
Sam460ex: PPC460ex/1GHz, 2GB RAM, 30GB SSD via on-board SATA-2, DVD-RW via USB, Radeon 5450 1GB PCIe, Catweasel Mk4 PCI, A4000 KB and Competition Pro CD32 Pad.
A4000D: 030/25MHz, 16MB RAM, Indivision Mk1, 8GB CF as HDD and IDE CD-ROM.

Amiga user since 1992.

SCA, a virus. That rings a bell. Wasn't it the first Amiga virus ever or one of the first anyway.

1> 33.180

Kickstart 1.2 version number. Had buggy expansion.library, thus 34.x (1.3) was released.
Quote
2> 8361

The original OCS NTSC Agnus. Maximum 512KB chip memory.
Quote
3> SCA

One of the first bootblock viruses, came after byte bandit IIRC. Made by Swiss Cracking Association (the virus name SCA is obviously short from this). "Something wonderful has happened... your amiga is alive!". .. or so. Videly spread at the time.
Quote
4> 80000004

Unhandled illegal instruction exception taken, system displaying this in a requester, or guru. 0x80000000 (bit 31 set) means it's deadend (cannot ignore and continue), 0x4 is the illegal exception vector number.
Quote
5> 7.14

NTSC 68000 amiga clock speed. Divided from the system clock that runs all the timing.
Quote
6> 4096

rbg444 (4 bits per gun), 16*16*16=4096, the maximum number of different colours possible with OCS denise. Also maximum number of colours possible at the same time using HAM6 mode.

Well,

33.180 is the Rev of the Kikstart 1.2 I think, released on my birthday date(on the rom we can find 28/10/87 as i can remember)
8361 is fat agnus, the first rev. after the A1000 (found on early A500/2000)
SCA was the first amiga virus around 1987 (Swiss cracking Association)
8000004 : well i think this is an adress, GURU MEDITATION !!
7,14 is the 68K speed of the original amigas (A1000/2000/500/CDTV/600) as i can remember this is the PAL speed (ntsc was slighty faster)

4096 is the number of colors of the palette with OCS/ECS chipset or the number of colors using HAM6

That GURU meditation is "Illegal Instruction", although, most folks here know that already I would guess. Funny though, as a developer, that was where my eyes immediately gravitated to when I read the post.
