I recall skimming through this topic before (about 3-4 months ago), but
only recently has it come to affect me..   I need to get my hands on an
8520 chip..  Anyone know where I can get one, and a rough estimate of
the cost? 

Thanks in advance ..

Custom parts for the Amiga are available *ONLY* through Authorized Amiga
Dealers.  To become an authorized dealer, the dealer must agree to 'service'
Amigas.  The dealer gets a Service manual, containing a parts list, and can
order, via telephone, any parts on the list.

Originally, the parts list did not extend below board level, however as of
June it now includes component level parts.  If your dealer represents that
he can't get the parts, I suggest you probe further, lest you accept a "We
can't be bothered with this parts stuff" response.

Here are the part numbers and prices for the custom chips and some other
parts.  The prices are *SUGGESTED LIST* for the *PARTS*, meaning that
(a) they are negotiable and (b) dealer service charges are not included.
