I'm not counting service/repairs (including individuals who did repair computers at home, third party repair shops and so on) and the occational hobbyist wanting dual SIDs or similar. Like in the 1970's MOS chips ended up in other major companies products, including ROMs for Atari. We know for sure that parts like VIC, VIC-II, SID, CIA and the Amiga chipset never ended up in any other companies products. At some point in time the MOS/CSG products must had stopped being competitive in the semiconductor market. -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
