Military-Spec 68000 Processor for Amiga 2000

I saw this too, but I didn't want to say anything... :-)

[Cyberus]

well, he sure knows how to market stuff!

[Jagabot]

Wow, $9.95 for a 68000, who'da thunk it.

I'm gonna have to start calling all my auctions "Military Spec"  :-D

Does anyone know what happened with DoomMaster's business transaction with tony23?

[amigamad]

Are you friends with doomaster he likes militry spec stuff. :-)

[Acill]

Well I dont know about being Mil-Spec or not, but I did just open up some of the computers here I work on here (US Navy) and there are a few that use Motorola 680x0 CPUs. The do look the same as the ones Doomy talks about.

There was a 68EC020 in my mums washing machine. What does that rate? Laundry spec?

Wasn't the 020 the first fully 32-bit 'clean' 68k?

 :-D

I guess this one was :-)

I was a little surprised to see it when a technician had to come around to service the washing machine. He pulled it apart, and there was this embedded system with a 16MHz rated 68EC020 sat in the midst of some DRAMs and other bits and bobs.

I had an unexpanded A600 at that time and was slightly peeved at the notion my mum's washing machine was probably considerably more powerful :lol:

It has a ceramic body that dissipates heat better then the more common plastic-bodied 68000 processors

Uhm, what heat can a poor 68000 produce anyway?

... the EC020 were slightly soiled  ;-)

That reminds me of a time in the mid 90's when I started taking every electronic device I could find to bits, to see if they had a 68K cpu in them... None did, but many had Z80s... :-(

Gold Plated HeatSink?? where?  :-? Isn't that just the chip's "guts"?

Yup, the gold cover comes off if you heat it (it's only held on with a bit of solder).

Under there is the chip. It's not a heat sink, it's simply the cover to the chip cavity.

As far as I can tell, the "Mil-spec" chips are simply early verions of the chip which have to be wired up by hand, later chips can probably be done by machine and sealed in a plastic case in one go.
