What is the best CD-RW drive for an Amiga 2000HD?

[KennyR]

Military grade paula and denise...

...riiiiiiight.

[AmigaHeretic]

Could you provide a link to ebay where I could see these chips.  They sound veerrryyy interesting.  I tried searching there but came up with nothing.

Thanks.

P.S. I promise not to try and outbid you.

Thanks guys, you have all been helpful.  I am now looking for a Plextor CD-RW drive on eBay.  I found on eBay some more military grade, high quality custom ICs for the Amiga 2000HD.  They are Paula, Denise, and a 8520 IC.  They have the purple-pink ceramic body and gold-plated legs.  I plan on bidding on these chips.     :-D

When would Commodore or MOS ever have been contracted to produce military grade hardware?  I find that statement highly doubtful.

If this is what you're looking at, check the link here.

From this information, how do you determine "military grade"?

Those look a lot (exactly) like the ones in my A1000.  Hmmm.. maybe I have a complete military grade Amiga computer  and I didn't even know it

Now I just need to find some high levels of radiation and see if Dpaint II will still work!

If he wants to buy some nice ICs for his 'puter than let him go ahead...I can certainly see the attraction myself, although I'm not sure what a 'Military Grade IC' quite is

Aww, come on, surely we all know there were military grade chipsets made for the US military?

The military grade OCS chipset, as saught after by our erstwhile friend, comprised the ultra hardened versions of out fave chips, namely "General, Commander and Seargent", fabricated to withstand a 1 megaton  EMP...

Note also, that his CIA chips are in fact the real thing, complemented by an 8522 NSA chip, only available for military grade 2000HD systems.

I can't believe you had to ask. Jeez ;-)

-edit-

Be sure to get yourself a military grade avatar in future, too. Like mine... :roflmao:

@DoomMaster
(Some more questions)

I already have a Seagate 10,000 RPM fan-cooled hard drive just for my OS 3.9 Amiga 2000HD system. I also have Commodore's high quality 68030 board. It blows the doors off the 040 to 060 boards in quality and reliability! The custom Chips in my new Amiga 2000HD are military grade ICs, even the two 8520s are military grade. I am looking for military grade quality 256k X 4 DRAM memory ICs and I am willing to pay the price to get them.

That hard disk drive sounds awful nice! Did you notice that the connectors on it don't fit the ones on your A2091 board? Do you really believe that you are getting the full potential out of the HDD here?
Could you just tell us in specific technical terms why you believe the Commodore '030 card is better than '040 and '060? Is there anything in particular that users of these other cards should be aware of?
Can you tell us the specific problems(if any)?
Also, these mill. spec. chips you have:
Did you say that the millitary grade custom chips came with your Amiga? If you installed them yourself, from where did you get them? How would we be able to find mill. spec. chips for our Amiga's?
Why do you suppose Commodore would make such chips?
What do you have to gain from mill. spec. hardware in your A2000?
Are there any specific markings on the chips that identify them as being mill. spec. ?

If you are able DoomMaster, I(and I'm sure many others) would really appreciate it if you could take some pictures of the inside of your A2000 to show us in clear detail the chips on the motherboard of your A2000. If you could show us, that would be really nice, thanks.

Ah man, that one got me rollin' for some reason.  Thanks!  :roflmao:

First of all, I want you guys to know that I actually work in the electronics industry as a Class 4 Assembler and as a technician / engineer's helper.  There are 3 grades of electronics assembly and components.  The 3 grades are: Consumer Spec, Military Spec, and Weapons Spec.  Consumer Spec is made to last an average of 4 to 7 years.  Military Spec is made to last 7 to 15 years.  Weapons Spec is made to last for at least 20 years.  Most things produced today are Consumer Spec.  Military Spec is a classification of Assembly type and Quality type.  It does NOT mean that these parts are made for the military.  Actually, Weapons Spec is done for the military.  The Amiga Custom Chips that have the black plastic bodies are Consumer Spec ICs.  This is what's in most Amiga computers.  The Amiga Custom Chips with the purple-pink ceramic bodies with gold-platted legs are Military Spec.  These ICs are very high quality and are designed to last at least 15 years.  The ceramic bodies dissipate heat better then the black plastic bodies, so the ICs last a lot longer.  Also, the gold-platted legs allow the signals to flow more efficiently.  The gold-plated legs are also less susceptible to corrosion.  The first run of Amiga 1000 and 2000 computers all had Military Spec Custom Chips.  Some even had Military Spec DRAM!  My first Amiga 1000 sure did.  Just last month, a guy on eBay was selling Military Spec 68-pin 68010 processors for $14.99 plus shipping.  I bought one for each of my 3 Amiga 2000HDs.  These 68010 processors are pin for pin compatible with the normal black-bodied 68000 processor.  They just plug in.  If you replace the crystal as well, you can actually gain up to 20% increase in speed.     :-P

I knew all about this Mil Spec stuff all along.  I was just playing around to see how far I could lead the rest of these toy A1200 users on.  A1200 users are infidels!!

The streets will flow with the blood of the infidels!  Throw your Consumer Spec toy A1200s away if you want to live!

Got a URL to back up what you are saying?
Because from what I've read in the past, it sounds like BS.

[lorddef]

A military spec DoomMaster for you all, hmm maybe I should have made his head a ceramic package.

Okay enough of these annoying threads and I'll stop the annoying posts in them.
