Wow! Just Wow! I've finally backed up the hard drives and in the past hour had a chance to poke around the A4000T and I don't believe what I've discovered. Maybe everyone else knows this but I sure didn't and it made me gasp - in a good way! I'm going to have to share this soon. I just have to share it. This is NOT click bait I promise.
Did you just had the change to get one of those Amiga 4000T with an "IceCap" built in? That was a modification with Peltier-Elements around the CPU to cool it down and achieve 50% higher clock rates back then.
7:35 15500 is acutally extreme slow for a 50 Mhz 060. That is slower then a A3640 with 25 Mhz. I get 37000 out of my LC060 TF1200 in my A1200.I wonder what is going on with that system. Maybe missing or incompatible 060 libs?
My dad had a 3000t and a 4000t. I had a 1000. My dad had a pixture of him with the creator Jay in a clean room wearing the gear. My dad used to work at CAL Berkley and helped build the microelectronics lab. My dad was something else about Amigas. His favorite. He was a CAD engineer and used Dynacad. Those were the days. My Dad sold all his machines. Now he passed away 2021. His anniversary was Aug 6th. I have a lot of stories to tell about our Amiga lives. I found my dads old invoices for his Amigas.
A Commodore/Amiga with USB drives just feels like something from an alternate timeline :) New sub, wonderful video and thanks for sharing this very rare technology with us all
@@commodorecave5581 Cool. I was just wondering but I think that the $1 RP2040 microcontroller I was playing around with today probably has more integer performance. We have come along way.
hey i have one of those... great machine, pain in the rear, but once you get them sorted they are great. if you ever consider parting with the Prisma, ive been looking for one for over 6 years.
Hey Chris, Lovin you videos. I learned a lot from u. Thanks so far… but help me here, pls. I am slightly confused… Everyone here is so hyped here about this 4000t. Yeah, they r rare, but not that rare. Its from Escom. Commodores 4000t r rare. Not the Escoms. U want one? Pn me.
Owning both the A3000T & QuikPak A4000T, I’d say the 3000T is the best Amiga ever made! The 3000T is a thing of beauty that’s built like a tank! While the 4000T is built cheaply in a PC case! Both machines have their pros and cons! Not having AGA in the 3000T doesn’t worry me, as I have a graphic card in both machines! Love both machines but my opinion favours the A3000T
In Germany, Y and Z are always interchanged. The letters Ä, Ö, and Ü are called "Umlaut", not accents. Their presence proves that this computer was sold in a German-speaking country, i.e., Germany, Austria, or the German-speaking part of Switzerland.
Why did SysInfo show this machine as running slower than an A4000/040/25Mhz? It detected the CPU type as 68060 but at 4Mhz? You described it as "68060 Megahertz", which doesn't make any sense. I'd suggest rebuilding this machine and finding out more about the accelerator (which I assume is resident in the Z3 slot) as it's very possibly defective. Vendor-specific libraries for this card may be missing or corrupt.
@@Okurka. Yes, and while in German the term for the dots above is Umlaut (in singular form), or Umlaute (in plural), in English the term in umlaut (singular) and umlauts (plural), without capital letter in the beginning.
I have a very large Amiga collection consisting of 15 Amigas of which I have 2 A4kTs along with 3 4KDs are restored and working. I will be showcasing my collection at AmiWest 2024 next month in a presentation. I purchased my first A4KT from SoftHut in 2009. Both of my A4KTs are decked out with Deneb USB, the Quikpak 060/50 128 MB RAM and 16MB on board along with the Picasso IV and builtin SCSI4091. I have since upgraded one to the new MNT ZZ9000 Video card giving it HDMI. I also have the Sunrize AD512 audio capture board. It is my goto machine yet.
Congratulations. That looks like a lovely example too, the keyboard is so white. As you no doubt know, that is the Escom one rather than the Commodore one which has a slightly different case (even the pic on Wikipedia was wrong last time I looked, someone had stuck a Commodore badge on an Escom model). You described the Picasso IV as a legendary sound card but it is of course a graphics card, certainly legendary though. Just getting one of those is exciting enough 😍😍😍
@@commodorecave5581I think one being when you stated the accelerator had a clock speed of 68060 Mhz was an error :) You'd need one heck of a heatsink to keep it cool if that was the case! It's interesting that Sysinfo says it's a bit slower than a standard A4000, perhaps there is some setting or other that is slowing the machine down, or maybe Sysinfo is simply wrong.
You are now a true Amiga custodian - x out 200 amazing. 2 years ago I was gifted a pristine 4000/40 that I on-sold to one of the guys from the Sydney Amiga group for $250 as I did not trust myself to be able to preserve it. If I came across this model I'd call ACMS to pick it up....... that said I might put on cotton glove and suggestively run my hands over it a number of times.
QWERTZ is the standard German keyboard layout. The letters with dots above them are usually called "umlauts" in English, as are the pairs of dots themselves, though that's not totally linguistically accurate.
4000t?!?!? That is one rare unicorn!! Grats!! I recently found an Amiga 3000 with the keyboard. Im gonna test it sometime this month as it's in storage
Lovely beast! Looks like an Escom one, slightly less rare then the Commodore version, but still! The Picasso is a video card, not an audio one.If you need that disk drive front, let me know! Keyboard is probably from normal A4K, not the tower.
Sure is an Ecom. They are Super rare but a genuine Commodore is even rarer. I just 3D printed the FDD facia. It didn't go well. Would love to get a proper one. If interested please email me.
Nice, hope enjoy this awesome machine, i got mine from work, boss was throwing it in the skip until a work colleague told me about it, i flew down 4 flights of stairs in 3 seconds to shout STOP at my boss lol, i rescued it just in time phew, now safe in my home. Great channel buddy 👍
Very nice! Now for that update video, make sure to deck out that bad boy with proper Ethernet (X-Surf from Individual Computers comes to mind) and, of course, AmigaOS 3.2 ❤. Promotion helps further OS development!
Escom bundled the first batch of A4kT with A4000-Desktop-Keyboards. But Escom put also an adapter in the box. If you are lucky, then you have the first Amiga-Technologies Logo on the bottom sticker of keyboard and mouse.
Nice. My amiga is a Pi400 with PiMiga. But that's way cooler. I paused on Tonkin Hwy and Malaga Drive you're from Perth. I had a few Amigas a c16 and a Plus/4. I learnt to code on the c16 and plus4 they were such good machines for that. I had a 1571 disk drive and decided to code my own GEOS. It did work ok but it was more a Windows3.1 running on DOS sort of OS. I was only like 12. Then I did an even shittier one for the BBC Micro.
I had a 4000T a couple years ago. Posted it on the Lemon sites. Couldn't get any to buy it. Finally sold to a nearby person for $2000. I also threw in two SX-64's.
Try saying "TWENTY-twelve" instead of "two thousand and twelve." Why? Because just like in the previous centuries, most years from this one (2010+) can be said more easily by saying them more shortly because of fewer syllables. So try it today!
Well I have an A1200 in a tower (The plastic one known as 'Infinitiv' with an extra bay on top for a CD-Writer - has the Caddy type). It has the Picasso-IV board in it and still have the original box and discs just like you show. The other is still in its original case. I do have the original Blizzard A1260 in one and the Blizzard IV in the other. Sadly for the A1260 I also had the Extra Add-in board, but when I went to get that fixed (late 1990's) it became lost in the mail...So sad to loose it as it would have allowed me to add the 128Mb SIMM and SCSI, but a squirrel on the PCMCIA is the next best thing.
I see an Amiga not being in its natural habit. I'm from Germany and I'd take it and give it a good home where it came from. It would have some more german Amigas as company as well... Great machine. Have a lot of fun!

Just finally made time to watch this on the TV. Huge congrats mate! What a stunning find. I had no idea they were sold under Commodore either. Every day is a school day. Stunning mate. Stunning.
Always really, really wanted one of these. Last one I watched on eBay went for over £5k. I'd have gone to £3k, and would have had to have sold my towered A1200 PPC to justify it, but I couldn't go to £5k.

Not slow 3 sec boot up time.... ssd on x86 cant do that. Escom got the assets Not anything else..assets are the computers to sell people. Everything Amiga/AmigaOne is openSource. Thanks to me. On a side note it was out before 1993. There where more then that. Constantine XII
An SSD on x86 can load anything as fast as an Amiga... if you compare similar size OSs. Of course, you have to go back a long way to find an OS as simple and bare bones as Amiga's Workbench. Escom got the rights to produce and develop Amiga computers. None of the Amiga intellectual property is open source.
@@another3997Amiga os is not that simple,but if u want to load a driver 14 times for 14 things , and the arcane idea of a drive then fine. Datatypes is FAR superior. asp which I coined the phrase.

Now as always u miss the point its the architecture,and when the other oses where that small..they where way slower STILL. They blamed the hard drive for being too slow. Recently its said too slow seek ,and access time.. u fell for it too. ITs the architecture of the WHOLE of the system. Be,honest. it took a whole day to format 1 500 meg hard drive gig hard drive,, an amiga 4 gig it took 5 min. back in the day. The Amiga low level format as it is today .the information is gone.

I know I help many in the DEFENSE..,and I saw what a 22terabyte ssd Amiga2000 does.15 min backup of a whole base. The classic Amiga treats data as data the pc=mac etc doesnt these systems cant read true raw data so it takes a lot longer as also they read 8bits at a time.

LOL A4000T's are not rare at all.. maybe the Quikpak A4000T version would be(or original Commodore one). I thought this would be about the A3500! now that's rare. The A4000T is a great machine though.
My early 1998 built Quikpak A4000T looks exactly the same as the Escom Amiga Technologies A4000T besides the label at the back! Think the very last Quikpak A4000T’s had a different bigger case!
@@mervynstent1578 Yes i have the later Quikpak tower. its a huge case,taller than the escom 4000T. The front face slides down with a push of a button on top the front bezel. I found pc's built with this same case,it is apparently some AT off the shelf case.
Cool, as soon as I saw your intro advert realised this world be an Aussie channel, I still remember that old ad. I pulled my A500 out from storage a few months ago (i kept all its original paperwork etc), it has John Laws trying to flog a Commodore credit card lol. I have the original receipt, my parents paid for this for my 21st birthday $799 for the A500 and $499 for the 1084s (kicking myself I put that out in collection when moving house a few years ago! ) Memories hey.
Meow. What's it to you? Nobody is claiming it was the best computer on the planet at the time, though it still had some advantages over the less user friendly, RAM hungry 'PC'. Besides, AGA and 68040, never mind 68060, weren't 1990 hardware.
@@danyoutube7491No PC in 1994 had those ugly blocky fonts. AGA did not support any hicolor mode, being limited to a 256-color palette, while most VLB and PCI video cards for PCs supported 16- and 24-bit color modes by that time.

@@Okurka. That is true, but then neither is the Mega65 or the Amiga 1200 Magic Pack. But they have Commodore parentage. ps - Looking at your I.D. maybe someone else has parent issues too
Just finally made time to watch this on the TV. Huge congrats mate! What a stunning find. I had no idea they were sold under Commodore either. Every day is a school day. Stunning mate. Stunning.
Commodore - but no sign of Batman!
Always really, really wanted one of these. Last one I watched on eBay went for over £5k. I'd have gone to £3k, and would have had to have sold my towered A1200 PPC to justify it, but I couldn't go to £5k.
Yes - The prices they command can be just crazy.
Nice machine. I had no idea that model even existed. Really looking forward to see what you do with this in the future. Great channel to BTW. Subscribed. 😎👍
Me too! Thak you.
Wow, excellent work. The A4000Ts were such a dream machine.
The Amiga 4000 is a great machine for sure. I would love to build one with a nice Toaster/Flyer combination.
Save up.
Umlauts, not accents :)
Accents is easier to pronounce in English
@@commodorecave5581You're not speaking English, you're speaking Austraaaalian! 😉 Although it definitely sounds much better than the awful, completely butchered and distinctly nasal 'merican' impersonation of English they subject us to. 😁
Motorollin' gave me a nostalgia hit.
but $10K .. to play an Amiga500 game ?? I hope no
These were meant for some serious stuff back then not gaming 😅
Oh that's so cool!!! I've always wanted one of those. Congrats, dude!
Thank you. Me too ;-)
Not slow 3 sec boot up time.... ssd on x86 cant do that. Escom got the assets Not anything else..assets are the computers to sell people. Everything Amiga/AmigaOne is openSource. Thanks to me. On a side note it was out before 1993. There where more then that.

An SSD on x86 can load anything as fast as an Amiga... if you compare similar size OSs. Of course, you have to go back a long way to find an OS as simple and bare bones as Amiga's Workbench. Escom got the rights to produce and develop Amiga computers. None of the Amiga intellectual property is open source.
@@another3997Amiga os is not that simple,but if u want to load a driver 14 times for 14 things , and the arcane idea of a drive then fine. Datatypes is FAR superior. asp which I coined the phrase. With ur failed pos direc3d that tried to copy arexx,and fails. didnt do 3d ...Trexx Lightwave. Way before pc did. We had other programs before that. Now as always u miss the point its the architecture,and when the other oses where that small..they where way slower STILL. They blamed the hard drive for being too slow. Recently its said too slow seek ,and access time.. u fell for it too. ITs the architecture of the WHOLE of the system. Be,honest. it took a whole day to format 1 500 meg hard drive gig hard drive,, an amiga 4 gig it took 5 min. back in the day. The Amiga low level format as it is today .the information is gone. YOU ARENT Getting it back. pc=mac etc.. is just 8bit deleting.Ie still cant be done by a pc=mac. I know I help many in the DEFENSE..,and I saw what a 22terabyte ssd Amiga2000 does.15 min backup of a whole base. The classic Amiga treats data as data the pc=mac etc doesnt these systems cant read true raw data so it takes a lot longer as also they read 8bits at a time. The Classic Amiga/OS circa 2001 Is Still the Only True Real-Time Multitasking Multimedia Greater then 64bit Computer known to the General Public.That can have True Multiple 250 mix match RISC cpus each 64core 256bit each
LOL A4000T's are not rare at all.. maybe the Quikpak A4000T version would be(or original Commodore one). I thought this would be about the A3500! now that's rare. The A4000T is a great machine though.
My early 1998 built Quikpak A4000T looks exactly the same as the Escom Amiga Technologies A4000T besides the label at the back!
Think the very last Quikpak A4000T’s had a different bigger case!
@@mervynstent1578 Yes i have the later Quikpak tower. its a huge case,taller than the escom 4000T. The front face slides down with a push of a button on top the front bezel. I found pc's built with this same case,it is apparently some AT off the shelf case.
@@a4000t like the Escom-Amiga Technologies cases on the A4000T, they were made by Taiwanese PC Case manufacturer Enlight
Cool, as soon as I saw your intro advert realised this world be an Aussie channel, I still remember that old ad. I pulled my A500 out from storage a few months ago (i kept all its original paperwork etc), it has John Laws trying to flog a Commodore credit card lol. I have the original receipt, my parents paid for this for my 21st birthday $799 for the A500 and $499 for the 1084s (kicking myself I put that out in collection when moving house a few years ago! ) Memories hey.
yes - born and bread. Don't lose thar paperwork, it's part of the history.
I would be impressed, if it is a Commodore. This one ist not rare... 🤷
That is so sad. PCs in 1994 had Pentiums 60+, PCI slots, 1280x1024x24 non-interlacing monitors... and this one still run on 1990 hardware.
Meow. What's it to you? Nobody is claiming it was the best computer on the planet at the time, though it still had some advantages over the less user friendly, RAM hungry 'PC'. Besides, AGA and 68040, never mind 68060, weren't 1990 hardware.
@@danyoutube7491No PC in 1994 had those ugly blocky fonts. AGA did not support any hicolor mode, being limited to a 256-color palette, while most VLB and PCI video cards for PCs supported 16- and 24-bit color modes by that time.
doom?
and Gloom?
