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!

Want more info on the Magnifamometer?

The AmiWest 2022 Report - Amiga Forever

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reporting on AmiWest 2022 that recently took place in Sacremento California from October 20th - 23rd.

Join me as I talk about the show, the speakers including R.J. Mical, Tim Jennison of NewTek, Kiki Stockhammer and more! We also tour the show floor and look at the goodies for sale.

Take a peek at the AmiWest Website:
