Amiga 4000 Adventures: Up close and personal with my Warp Engine 68060

#Amiga #A4000 #Amiga4000 #WarpEngine

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am heading back to my Amiga 4000 and trying to determine why my Warp Engine accelerator acts silly when trying to boot. I also introduce you to my new Magnifamometer used to look at motherboards and other parts up close!

 I am happy to be back! Thanks for all the well wishes, everyone.

It is NOT an Amiga 500 with a CD-ROM...
