Can you describe exactly what doesn't work? I (or other Amiga users here) might be able to help. If it fails to boot does it give a coloured screen? IF not does it just sit at a bl…

Nice pile of stuff there! The 4400 is a bit of a strange machine but is a very good workhorse none the less. I'm hoping to get mine set up with BeOS or Linux at some point in the n…

It can't be indigo and a 266. The indigo was a slot load in speeds ranging from 350-500mhz. If it's a 266 it has to be a revision C blueberry. Click to expand... I never said i…
