Kevin, Presuming he means production run, then WRONG. Production runs are in the thousands. Look at it this way…all the new Amiga's have the 1 Meg Agnus in them…there's 900 dealers across the US so if each dealer only sold an Amiga every other day…that'd still be 450 a day going out the door. That's just the US, it's only 30% of the Amiga market…so add in the other 70% and you end up with 1500 per day being sold or 45,000 per month. See what I'm saying…100 chips would be about an hour's worth of sales…hardly likely. No…more than likely, the first run was closer to 100,000 chips. And there would be continuing runs…that 100,000 would only last 2 months if you add in replacement stocks. Don
