I have been having problems with my Amax II+ and using my floppy drives. So I bought two CIA 8520 chips at my local dealer. I took the old ones out and put in the two new ones. Then my computer only showed a grey screen upon powering up. So I put the old chips back in and my Amiga 3000 booted up just fine. What do you think is up? I noticed the original CIA 8520 chips in my Amiga had different numbers on them. The two new ones I got have different numbers on them too. They say CSG 318029- 8520PD 4691 24 The other one says here: 4491 24 Do they go in a certain order? Why different numbers?
