Description: New or like-new Amiga 315093-01 Kickstart 1.2 chip. Chip may have the MOS logo or the Commodore (C=) logo on it. Fifteen or twenty years ago we picked up dozens of these from a major corporation that used to refurbish Commodore and Amiga computers. They came to us in factory looking chip tubes. The chips in many of the tubes had identical date production codes and the chip legs appeared to be very shiny and unbent which is typical for new chips. So, we assume these are new or at least in new-like condition. We picked up around ten thousand other Commodore and Amiga chips from the same source and have sold thousands of them over the last 12 or 15 years with great success and very few problems. We ship these chips in special static-resistant chip boxes with black crisp anti-static foam to protect them. The Kickstart 1.2 chip is the first Kickstart chip used in the Amiga 500 computer and probably the first Kickstart chip used in the Amiga 2000 computer. So if you currently have a Kickstart 1.3 chip (or higher) installed on your Amiga computer this will be a step backward. However, with an aftermarket rom switch device you might be able to increase compatibility with some of the older Amiga software by being able to switch between different Kickstart versions. Or, if you have multiple Amiga Kickstart 1.2 compatible computers you may want to permanently configure one to be an older configuration for software compatibility sake. I'm sure these chips are compatible with most (if not all) Amiga 500 computers and likely with many (if not most) Amiga 2000 computers. I don't recall if they are compatible with the Amiga 600 or not-- possibly not. Most (if not all) Amiga 1000 computers require the Kickstart to be booted from a floppy disk so I doubt there is any easy way to utilize one of these Kickstart 1.2 chips on an Amiga 1000 computer. This chip is not recommended and probably not compatible with the Amiga 1200, 3000, 4000 or other AGA-type Amiga computers. You may want to research the issue further online before buying this chip unless you are already familiar with all of the compatibility issues and installation details. Some of the chips have the Commodore logo on the top of them and others have the MOS logo on the top. The photo shown may vary slightly from the actual chip you receive and the date production code may be different. These chips are in nice overall condition but may not be in mint condition due to the fact that they have been stored in chip tubes which may have scratched them slightly or caused other minor blemishes. We take note of the production date codes of all chips shipped and oftentimes put little warranty stickers on the bottom of the chips which we ship in order to make sure that any returns are chips which we actually sold. Any returned chips which do not match the production date codes or which have missing or damaged warranty stickers will not be refunded. If you don't want little warranty stickers on the bottom of these please contact us before ordering to make special arrangements. Note: Our shipping price is a couple of dollars higher than our actual shipping cost on these normally because of our cost on the special anti-static boxes which we ship them in. We have been selling Commodore hardware, parts and accessories for nearly 32 years (since 1983) and have a great reputation.
