The fact that the A2000/A500 is now 10 years old and the A1000 is going on 13 years old doesn't point to it being very likely that the new company will continue production of spare parts for these machines though. I'd say about the only machines they are going to continue to support from the Commodore days are the A4000 and the A1200, which even leaves out my favorite, the A3000. Thankfully, it's still quite easy to pick up replacement chips for almost any of the Amiga's from companies such as 'Software Hut' or 'Paxtron'. In fact, Paxtron seems to still be on the lookout to buy just about any A2000 out there.
