Well, yeah...I know it won't be easy...but my whole point is, with the right effort and resources, it can be done. Yes, maybe the conditions have to be perfect, but it can all be set up. Quadraman, I actually could set up a chip foundry in my basement, but if I were to do that I would have to make it absolutely sterile, as you said.

And yes, small amounts won't be a problem, because mass manufacturing chips would be overdoing it, since unfortunately not many compact Macs are around anymore. Everyone has a PC today, but I only know of 5 compacts in my entire city! (Which isn't bad, but still, PC's outnumber them 1,000,000 to 1)

So yes, there will be 'hurdles' to get past, but if you have the will, effort, and determination to get these parts made, then it can be done.
