Got a new mystery Amiga 4000 and 1084 monitor in the bunker

Got a tip from a friend on the net of someone selling an Amiga 4000 and 1084 monitor near me, pick up only. So I sent a mail and told him I could come and buy the package, no problemos.

Indivision AGA A4000/CD32 review

This is supposed to be an Indivision AGA A4000/CD32 review but since the scandoubler is the same design as the A1200 version what could be said about that version can be said about the A4000 version, get one, it is without doubt the best scandoubler/flickerfixer for the AGA Amiga computers.
This version only works in the [...]

Cooling off from the Amiga

Deneb USB card for the Amiga brings back the fun in computing again

I received a Deneb USB 2.0 card for my Amiga 4000 today. I thought I would write a short review today after an hour of playing with it or so, however I have forgotten that back when “computers used to be fun”, plug and play did not exist
Please, do not tell anyone I [...]

How to fix broken SIMM sockets in the Amiga 4000

I guess broken SIMM sockets in the A4000 is no news for most Amiga enthusiasts these days. You rather expect a second hand Amiga 4000 to have broken SIMM sockets than not.
The kind of SIMM sockets used in the Amiga 4000 is all plastic, the little tabs holding the SIMM secure has a bad habit of [...]

Phase 5 CyberStormPPC 040 25MHz 604 180MHz turbo board

I messed around my Phase 5 CyberStormPPC card today. The card holds a 68040 clocked at 25 MHz and a 604+ PPC clocked at 180 MHz.
The CyberStormPPC card is really the pinnacle of classic Amiga performance technology. You get a card capable of running a 060 CPU and you get a powerful co-processor (the PPC [...]

Improving airflow in the Amiga 4000 one step at the time

I have decided to clean up my Amiga 4000 internally. It is a busy system under the hood with cables all over the place hindering air flow and makes my Amiga run hotter than it should do.
I am running a BMon monitor switch (originally made by Eyetech) inside so that I can switch manually between [...]
