Of which I currently own ZERO. Since I made a rookie mistake and hot-swapped
printer cables on my Amiga 4000. Fried the CIA chip ... which is surface
ounted
in the 4000 instead of being socketed. And my soldering skills were/are not up
to replacing surface mount components.


... Amiga made it possible. Commodore made it dead.
