If inews rejected, then add some fodder and try again.

In the Sept. issue of the Transactor for the Amiga, there is a company
which is adveritsing the resale of the custom chips for the Amiga.
Included were Gary, Paula, F. Agnus, Denise, and a host of other chips that
I do not recall.  If I had my TA with me I would provide the vendor
name and address, but alas I don't.

Good luck,
