In the interest of public embarrasment, I'd like to see how I did ranked against the others. I'm guessing about the 20% mark, maybe.
Is there a prize for worst score?

Just a bit too hard I think, put me off entering.

I did wonder about question 20 though - what sprang to mind first: Wasnt the CD32 board double-sided? I dont think it had a B52s reference either. It also of course had Akiko for C2P modes (was this ever used?!!!)

Some questions were too hard for me also.

Yes, Akiko has been used by at least one CD32 game: Wing Commander, and by some of the Doom/Heretic/Descent ports.

Well, one has to be a geek to win in the Amiga land. LOL

I might have gotten 14 out of 19 right. And I didn't have a clue what the answer to the bonus question was.

Well, it is always hard to set the difficulty level with quiz questions.

The aim here was to make it so much of a challenge, that it would take more than just a little help from Google or some other search engine

Well, we didn't want to make them overly easy otherwise selecting winners would be much more difficult. Admittedly some were a little technical, but then most of us Amiga owners are a little more technical in our knowledge.

You can blame me for the retro styled questions too (I've been going through a bit of a retro phase recently )

Allthough my answers suck I would like to thank AW.net stuff one more time.

I didn't have this much fun for ages.

Question 20 answer 8 isn't entirely correct. the A4000 Rev D has an 68030 on the motherboard...

Bah grumble mutter mutter

That is true. I'd forgotten about the Rev D boards (both my 4000s are Rev B and the Towered AI 4000s also have separate CPU modules), but being honest, it doesn't affect the overall scores by still including it.

Come to think about it, I haven't actually ever come across a Rev D board at all...not even those listed on amibench or ebay. I assume that not many of the "cost reduced" Rev D's were either manufactured or sold then.

My A4000 is a Rev D (bought July '94 from White Knight), it has several differences to the older models;

No Chip ram simm, it has the same ram as A1200s
Soldered on lithium battery with incorrect +/- markings on the MoBo
68030 On Board (really annoyed me as I bought a warp engine at the same time and had a buyer for the 68030 card )
Faster slimline HD floppy drive
2mb/8mb chip ram jumper
