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.
