Ohhhhhhhh! That's one eaten (and possibly irreparable) Amiga A4000
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Yeah right. I feel like it just needs tossing into a sea of white vinegar. :lol:

Technically, that's alkaline not acid ;) that's why you neutralize it with a white vinegar (acetic acid solution).

I was tempted to purchase it myself, but after shipping it to Oz, the the repair budget and man hours required it would probably be more than double its cost. :( . Good condition :crazy:
