Do you have military grade chips in your Amiga?

[DoomMaster]

Do you have military grade chips in your Amiga?  You should check and see if you do.  The first run Amiga 1000 and 2000 computers had them.  The military grade ICs have purple-pink ceramic bodies and gold-platted legs.  They are designed to last about 15 years at 100% duty cycle.  Since the average Amiga user only uses their computer for about 6 hours per day, this is only a 25% duty cycle, so the military grade chips will last between 30 to 60 years.  They can still be damaged by static-electricity and power surges, so be carefull.  If you have any of these ICs in your Amiga 1000 or 2000 computer, I would be willing to buy them from you.     :-D

I had some military chips but they got fried one day. Yeah, I was playing Turrican and accidently set the A2000 on both War Emergency Overide and Battle Short at the same time.  I do  have some Nuvistors and some RCA red seal tubes in my bomb shelter though. Oh yeah, also I am trying to get an an EMP shielded motherboard from Genisi. I want it to put in my titanium case with the hand-crank power supply and AN/PRC-56 cranium input system.

What the F**K did you just say?!     :-o

[AmigaHeretic]

How many are you looking for?  

And, if it's o.k. to ask, what are you going to use them all for?

To an expert like you it should be obvious. I can tell that you are a famous double-naught spy or rocket surgeon.

I had some for a while, but the government came and took my 2000s away. Something about the 143rd transvestite brigade, airborne wing in FANTASTIC makeup using them for strategic sheep purposes.

If I could still help ya, I would, but they're in the hands of the army now.

Were you suprised? I was suprised.

They've got guns! They've got guns!!
 :-D

Sure, commodore installed some A1000 with military grade chips in case they ever had to go into combat. A military grade paula can - uh - play some 8-bit sound and control serial and parallel ports in any intense combat situation. These Amigas are usually identified by the fitting of a 7.62x32mm recoilless rifle in the upper drive bay, but in some models this even had a flamethrower attachment. I've seen them take direct hits in combat and still be able to format disks reliably.

To amigaguy:

I am going to install them into my 3 Amiga 2000HD computers.  I also want to have backups sitting in my closet, so I will need about 5 of each custom Amiga chip, 5 68010 processors, and 10 of the 8520 ICs.  I am also looking for the military spec DRAMs, but these are extremely rare.  I need about 32 of the DRAMs.     :-P

@KennyR

I had A1000 that survived a 3" shell hit.  Of course that isn't typical but it did have ceramic chips.

I think that these chips were really made by aliens, and were accidentally shipped to Earth by mistake. Medhi & the other members of Majestic12 are secretly buying up this stock in order to ship them back to Remulac.
  :-D

@ JimS ,

Ya, I think your on to something there, I think you just blew Doomies cover.
 
I think he's maybe being misled by the evil grey collective. The plans for the Doomie saucer craft will fail because the chips being used are not space grade chips, millitary grade chips are not space grade ! They will not be able to withstand the rigors of interplanetary space/time travel. I know this because I'm a professional. ;-)

I swore I commented here.

Anyways, one of the chips in my A1000's look similar to how you describe, but only 1 of them.

[N7VQM]

Where did this DoomMaster character come from and why does he pass himself off as an expert??

[DoomMaster]

To downix:

Do you want to sell it?     :-?

[Waccoon]

It's threads like this that remind me why I still come here.   ;-)
