C= never intended for the Amiga's to last more than 5 years. They suffer
from bad cap's on the latter models, and the dreded vareta battery
leaking crap all over the board, and in the process destroying it.

This damage is making original boards very hard to find and they are
becoming more rare and scarse. That is why the "re-amiga" boards have
been released, and then it's a matter of moving some of the chips across
to a new board.
