But that hypothesis assumes that Amiga clone makers would be getting chips
from U.S. sources… do we know that Grapevine, for example, buys from US
sources (like CBM direct or a CBM dealership) or does it buy from other CBM
outlets such as the far East or Canada? I've heard that A2000 prices in
Canada remain low. And why would CBM change their repair process so
drastically, just to "kill off" these non-existant clones? Seems a bit
hypocritical for a company that touts the fact their box can run Mac
software, while running an Apple clone gizmo. Still, an eight times
increase in the price of the Chip Most Likely To Blow is pretty nasty,
return credit or no return credit.
