That and most of C= computers used aucient design on chipsets by MOS
company did ran very hot and they are very easy to damage and
doesn't age too well with time. At that period, C= should had went
on to CMOS technologies and made their circuit boards bit more
hardy to rough world but they didn't innovate often enough besides
great Amigas and C64's. Everybody else went on to CMOS stuff already
long before 90's.
The worry is that chipset patents on that Amiga it's not yet released
or transferred to suitable user besides Gateway's.

reasonable time
period (10's of years) either.
That's odd, I've read quite often that Amigas are getting more unreliable by
the day due to the contruction being worn out. That certainly seems to hold
true WRT to the Amigas we use at the usergroup. They just start behaving
irrationally as they age.
