Do you have military grade chips in your Amiga?

You're right, I remember all the hipe at school that NASA used Amigas when I got my A500, all those years ago.

lol.

Military grade chips, I can believe this.. I know NASA used countless Amiga based machines, (information is dotted around the net, I also remember an old Amiga CU mag stating this)
2 of witch are ending out into space...
1 being the early Mars explorer, (cheap to build and reliable too).. not forgetting the 100`s of satillites orbiting us everyday...I would be interested in knowing the chip IC-MC51XXXXX number..

There are no amigas in space, nor have their ever been.  We did one to Zero-G on the Vomit Comet (a 2000 thats in my closet and a Toaster & Flyer) thats also the first NLE to do Zero G.   NASA did use a bunch of Amigas, at one point we probably had close to 100 here at Marshall alone, but there arent used that much anymore, over the years most have been replaced.

I have already found many sources, including eBay, that sell brand new Sony and Memorex DD / DS disks. I bought 100 new DD / DS Sony disks from eBay for less then $25.00. I will be paying about $260.00 for 2 new Amtrade HD Disk Drives soon. They will go into my 3rd and most powerful Amiga 2000HD. Since I helped design Workbench 4.0, I have created a special version just for my 3rd Amiga 2000HD computer. I now have 3 Amiga 2000HD computers. The first one has Kickstart / Workbench 1.3. The second one has Kickstart / Workbench 2.04 and the third one has Kickstart 3.1 / Workbench 3.9, but the OS will be upgraded to 4.0 (yes, OS 4.0 on an Amiga 2000HD Professional Computer).

How do you work that out then? I cant believe that someone with a "status" at your level can make such a stupid comment. What utter garbage. How would Amiga OS 4 run on a paltry 030 and why would they bother making it for a machine that has a smaller user base that the 4000, 3000 and 1200.

 I am getting tired of the crap that comes out your mouth DoomMaster, very tired.

Whatever you say about DoomMaster he does seem very knowledgeable about Amiga hardware and operating systems.  It wouldn't surprise me at all if he did have a specially programmed version of OS4.0 for his Amiga 2000HD Professional Computer.

I think that DoomMaster (DoomAmateur) is talking a big pile of crap. I dont think he was working for Commodore or any other big company he said. I infact think that he is only a technican that fixes computers. I am saying this cos he gets his facts wrong (the static bags, PSU,  the military grade chips, etc). The information that he posts are probably from websites (like the dream machine thread).

He might own an Amiga 2000 but i dont think he is an expert (like me). Also if he did have a "hand" in designing Amiga OS 4 then he would be banting to all the other developers "YOU ARE WRONG!" when something isn't up to his high standards. Also he would make OS 4 only for the flagship of Amigas, the 2000 (of course!). I think what he means when he says he's programmed a "special" version of OS 4 on his beloved Amiga 2000, is that he has just played around with the colour settings on Workbench 1.3/2!  :-D

I thought he had written that Dream Machine thread, and it was a nice article.  I didn't know he had just cut'n'pasted it from a website :-o

I take back what I said (it was kinda tongue-in-cheek anyway). :-(

I think other people thought that he wrote it as well. But i recognised the text from a website, and sure enough, someone else did to and found the site. Has DoomMaster been banned?

Also, i sounded a bit big headed in the previous post. Sorry. I was meant to say that i was NO expert at Amigas.

The military grade ICs have purple-pink ceramic bodies and gold-platted legs.

But pink is NOT anti-static!

Edit: Sorry I didn't think I'd sink that low  :-D

@DoomMaster

I haven`t got any military spec DRAMs, but I`ve got a couple of AMRAAMs. I`ll sell them for a small amount of cash. £200,000 each? :-)

For the good of humanity I'm locking this thread.
