I’m looking for any military spec Amigas please

I’m on the hunt for any any military spec Amiga systems. Are there any sellers looking to offload these rare high grade Amigas? Please let me know in this thread.

This is a much to serious reply to this thread, but here goes:

I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as military spec Amiga's. But if they truly exist (as in not that silly stuff linked to above), I'd be interested in knowing about them.

I dunno, the A2000 is built like a tank

Just reminded me of this:

Four Amiga 2000s were used from 1988 to 1991 to develop the digital displays panels installed in the M1-A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank built by General Dynamics Land Systems.

The stuff linked to above is being sold buy a guy "famous" for saying his Amigas were military spec because that's the only thing he'd settle for, among other brilliant things he asserted in several Amiga message groups back in the day.

I will not speak his unholy name, but someone else in this thread already did

If I remember correctly the "M" on the CPUs on accelerator boards stands for military. Not sure if they all are, but the Blizzard 1230 had one of those.

Wrong! The Amiga 2000 Personal Computer is the only Mil Spec computer from Commodore! All the others are JUNK!

Agree the A2000/A2500 were tanks, even NASA used them.
