Cool but does the Amiga still work?

wonko, did you even bother to read the article, the how-to, or even look at the picture?
its just the motherboard, completely intact
Well, this must be the hardest how-to ever…
step 1:
put the motherboard on the lightbox
TADA! done…

Hm.

Makes me wonder what other computers had translucent motherboard material...

Hehe no wonder the Amiga came in a case with foil lining.
No ground plane on that motherboard. I'll bet the logic signals are noisy as all getout.

Everything made now is a 4 layer PCB except for the cheapest PCI expansion cards. Think $5 nic or serial port.
