Hmm, so i do magic... i buy working CPC on Ebay or somewhere for 100-200 GBP plus postage costs . Later i  dissasembly working computer for parts, . In next day i assembly  and sell full working Just CPC2  board for 150 GBP... Really , good buissnes for me ;)
And sell the now non-working CPC on Ebay to make the profit, because we know even those fetch stupidly high prices these days. Still unconvinced.

Piotr has found the 40010 on this website (like some Amiga peoples have found Paula on it, and more), because I have asked if they can try to source those unlisted circuits. UtSource has added next the Amstrad 40010 references and I was able to order ten of them to fix some CPC. Piotr got the opportunity to order them while it was available.

You have payed them expensive... It was around 9$ for the Gate Array and 5$ for Paula in 2014/2015.  :(

And that was - when? Can you try again to get a quote please? If you still have the account. Just make sure they are not giving you the Bosch 40010...

It was more than 5 years ago.
Last year, I have asked a quotation again because no more price was displayed for the Amstrad 40010 IC and I have received a quotation for the Bosh 40010 IC too...

So Zaxon's (UT)source has run dry in the last 4 years... wondering on how many GA's he is sitting for his JustCPCs...

As many as CPCs that can no longer be repaired.

Why did you pay 100gbp or more?  plenty of 464 on the last go for 25 maybe less. I haven't looked in a while but it was easy to grab them for still little money only a shortwhile ago.

Well, btw, i have also oryginal  NOS HAL ram controller for 6128 ;) Approx 50 pieces in my storage ;)

I think the original question in the debate was where did you get your 40010 gate arrays from for all the justcpc you sold.  How many did you buy and where from.   For example did you get them by taking them from actual cpc machines or did you buy them NOS from another supplier.  Maybe you answer that question and I didn't see it.

It must be a lot of fun waving these pitchforks around, they seem to be hard to put down.

This thread really is quite something, even when judged by usual standards of pointless retro-drama.

Well, let me explain that to you. Of course the great CPC contains many standard components for reliability and availability. But it also has some great custom chips for its absolute power. One of them it Garry the Gate Array, also called 40010 in CPC6128 for example.

Now what we try to find out here is: Are these Amstrad 40010 custom chips available somewhere - and this means without taking them from CPCs themselves.

Well let's see it that way - since you are already the bad guy of the CPC community  :laugh: what do you have to lose?  8) It can only get better!  :D Just sell us your NOS components and no shit will storm anymore  :laugh: Just kidding.

SorrSorry, im busy, delivery was... Let's dissasembly it....

It's hardly pitchforks; such a situation is going to be controversial regardless of who did it, and a robust discussion here is entirely reasonable. We're not actively trying to drag him through the mud elsewhere, and it was entirely Piotr's choice to engage here.
Extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof after all, and it seems like Piotr has supplied enough. Only to then deliberately raise doubts about his own honesty, which was entirely unnecessary. Don't go complaining about your poor reputation when you actively sustain it, FFS.

:laugh:

You've been slinging mud from the beginning of this witchhunt thread, then ended up with egg on your face, and yet still insist on doing so. That's the only "extraordinary" thing here.

Smh. Time to take a break from this toxicity, good thing it's spring out there...

I started this conversation saying only "I have doubts." And Piotr obviously enjoys jerking us around. Not knowing exactly how big a jackass he's being is hardly "egg on my face".
But you've obviously decided you know everything. Must be nice.
