Do you have military grade chips in your Amiga?

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

To N7VQM:

I never said that I was an "expert".     :-o

@Doommaster

Wouldn't do you any good, it's the Agnus, which has a different pin-arrangement in your A2000's.

Also, it's an original unit with a low production number.

If you ever have one each of all of the ceramic chips made out in one place I'd love to see a picture of them all together.  (it'd be great if you could make out the #'s on the photo too).  

Anyway, I think your an over the top true Amiga fanatic!     And I salute you..

[Lo]

Heck, take a picture of just ONE and post it here, it should take care of those who don't believe you.

So what if your chips will last 30 to 60 years, what good will a 10MHz chip be then, check that, what good is a 10MHz chip now? I can tell you what it will be in 30 years time, a working museum artifact, woohoo. Why don't you do something useful and put it in a time capsule, that way in a 1000 or so years somone will open it and be able to play Defender of the Crown.

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.

And if each of these chips lasts 15 years, that means you'll still be using your Amiga 2000HD Professional nearly into the next century.  WTF??   :-P  Yes, I too salute you as the only true Amiga fanatic here!  Oo-rah to military spec!

Say, now that I'm thinking about it 'tho, wasn't there something about the Amiga's clock giving out in 2046? :-D

(edit:  @adz - looks like you & I were posting at the same time)

@ DoomMaster,

I like your new army helmet but may I suggest trading it in for a nice shiney pointed tin foil one ?
These are said to lend some protection from errant cosmic rays.

Millitary grade components are of no use on interstellar voyages beyond eight lightyears if you intend on returning to earth, for long interstellar travel all computational devices must contain aero space components.

Also for your safety may I also suggest that all Amiga computational devices aboard the interstellar craft be running the following program at all times.

neglecting to do so could be dangerous !

I hope this info helps.  ;-)

Hi Oldsmobile_Mike,

It's OK  Mike, I've  got it already and it's running all the time. They'll never get me...

I'm scared sarge! army surplus Amigas,AAAAAHHHH!

LOL I have an old Amiga 1000 myself and i am not sure that what you are describing constitutes millitary grade chips, from what I understand from the Amiga launch in NYC, any chips in original A1000s are there because C=MOS didn't make them. They weren't in the process yet of adapting from 6502 type chips to the motorola processors. Another thing was the Amiga at that time was a "Special Computer" like the macintosh a cut above the other line and was priced and made more expensively. It wasn't till Commodore cost reduced the product with the A500 that C=MOS technologies was fully into production. As far as I know only the 8520 CIA chips (which are a lot like those in the 8 bit line) were actually MOSTek..

Please someone tell me if I am wrong. I can tell you this I don't believe these were millitary "grade" chips because I saw a lot of Amiga 1000's with their CIA chips go bad.. Mostly because people did stupid things like plugging things in and out when they shouldn't have.

So my belief in the machine being millitary grade doesn't float, although I bet if we ASKED NASA we'd know for sure..

Hi levelLORD,
 I'm sorry but I can't tell you how I found it, that would require a top level security clearance.  ;-)

@ tony23


Man, that site is sooo scary ))
Take care,

To Lo:

There are 4 military spec Amiga custom chips on eBay right now.  Go have a look.     :-D
