Introduction
Welcome to the Commodore Amiga A4000, one of the top Amiga models of its time.
It was affordable and easy to use. It had a wide range of software, in particular,
games which Jay Minor, the creator of the Amiga, had designed it for.
The Amiga A4000 is based on either the Motorola 68030 25MHz , 68040 25MHz or
the top end 68060 50MHz Processor with 2Mb RAM, a single 880K floppy drive with
support for three more floppy drives, Zorro cards and a Custom Chipset that provides
the Sound and Graphics.
The Amiga runs the Operating System called Amiga OS which consists of the
Kickstart ROM which contains some essential libraries and devices needed to load
Workbench which is the desktop:

You can a while menu bar at the top and all the disks mounted on the right hand of
the screen. The Ram Disk is a special one which is a disk in memory basically. More
on Workbench will be explained later.
