#CD drivers
Message #217146
Does anyone know where I can find a Toshiba CD-ROM driver and a Phillips CD-ROM driver to download for the PC? I want to use it with my e586. AMIGA—–The Future Is Now! Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with Toaster 4000 & MacIIfx via Emplant.
Michael,
Don, Yup, that was the problem all right. I also found the jumper for the floppy drive—-it's 301, not 103. (Just for someone else's reference.) Things are working beautifully now; thanks. AMIGA—–The Future Is Now! Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with Toaster 4000 & MacIIfx via Emplant.
I think I know why. I read in the latest Video Toaster mag that the only "authorized" release of 3.1 was for the 4000. All of the other 3.1 chips are "unauthorized" releases, so maybe this is why EA did nothing to support 3.1. NewTek also say the same thing…
#Syquest crashing Amiga
Message #216973
I hope some of you out there with experience on Syquest drives can help me out. I just installed an internal 270 Syquest and mounted it where my internal second floppy (DF1) used to be. I've connected the drive up to my GVP SCSI board as unit 6, and it…
#Ext DF1 not ready, probl
Message #216962
I just installed an internal 270 Syquest drive, and I had to remove my second internal floppy to do it. My question: I still have an external floppy hooked up (It was DF2:), but my computer isn't acknowledging that it's there. I get an icon on my WB that says…
I use two TBC Plus' in my Toaster machine (you mean the GVP brand, right?). It's dual channel input, but only one channel output. Lastly… it was the Cubs wasn't it? BTW, I'm not selling; I was just answering your questions. Hope you don't mind. AMIGA—–The Future Is Now! Chris…
Is there Cybergraphics support yet? I tried the demo, but all I got on my Picasso was some ugly dotted colors etc. Can you work with 256 color up to 24 bit color real time painting w/ Picasso and/or Cybergraphics now? If so, I may give it a look see.…
What about the monitor itself? I know I had to adjust mine some in order to get the screens to fill the monitor and be centered, etc. AMIGA—–The Future Is Now! Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with Toaster 4000 & MacIIfx via Emplant.
What an ironic world, isn't it? 🙂 AMIGA—–The Future Is Now! Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with Toaster 4000 & MacIIfx via Emplant.
Maybe it's because the 4000T is aimed here at the US market, like the 1200 is aimed at the Europe market? I think there's more of a demand for 4000T's over here for the video industry—–I know I want one.
Asha,
4000T specs
Message #216296
Does anyone have any detailed specs of the new 4000T coming out? All I really need to know is how many ZIII slots it has, PC slots, and video slots, and possibly a ASCII diagram of how the slots are arranged on the motherboard. I also need to know how…
#4000T/060
Message #215621
I doubt it. I'm confident that the 4000T/060 will be sold out quick the minute they're released, and those that missed the chance will demand more. From what I understand, there is still a market for Amigas in the Video arena. AT would be fools that to pick up on…
Actually, that means 'birthday'. Anninversary is 'Jahrestag' or 'Jahresfeier'. Waiting till Motorola decides to release that 68060. Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with Toaster 4000 & MacIIfx via Emplant.
I need to brush up on my German, anyway. I read well in German, but I don't listen well in German. I figure the time I wait is long enough for me to learn my old vocabulary again. Waiting till Motorola decides to release that 68060. Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000…
#Super Wing Cmdr & WC3
Message #48500
Has anyone managed to get Super Wing Commander to work on Emplant? I've tried both 32 and 24 bit "launch" modes, but no luck. The whole emulator crashes right after I double click on the game icon. I've also tried removing all of my extensions except for Quicktime, Sound Manager,…
How well does that SoftWindows work, anyway? Is it any faster than PC Task and e586 Emplant as far as 486 emulation, Windows, games, etc? I thought about getting it for my Mac Emplant at one time. Waiting till Motorola decides to release that 68060. Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with…
What about Beta testers? Is there a way I can Beta test the 060 with my A2000 and Emplant? Waiting till Motorola decides to release that 68060. Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with Toaster 4000 & MacIIfx via Emplant.
I payed about $400 for it. It was an AIWA model and was also multi-voltage too. I got mine shortly before I left the Army, so if you know someone on an Army base they might be able to pick one up for you in the AAFRTS store. Waiting till…
Not a normal VCR, no. What I have is a VCR that will change speed and format for PAL, NTSC, SECAM, and a list of others. It'll work. I have some music videos from Germany that play great on it. Waiting till Motorola decides to release that 68060. Chris Shepard:…
#New Amiga Killer?
Message #214850
I see CPU "board", but I don't see the actual CPU or Power PC's listed. Does it come with the 2 PPC's for that price? You know, maybe this will inspire Amiga Technologies to get their butts in gear and get new Amigas out and start marketing here in the…

#AT on German TV !
Message #214815
Karl, I have a machine that plays PAL/NTSC/SECAM and all the rest, so I've got that covered. The price for shipping is a good question, and one I wouldn't know. My guess is that it wouldn't cost that much to ship it; I mean, the tape isn't that heavy. You're…
Thank you, I'll give it a shot. BTW, while I'm saving up for the 2.1 version, I've been trying to find out if there is a way you can animate the effects such as lightning, wave, ripple, etc. effects. Is there a function that allows this to happen easily to…
Kermit, Step 1: create an image in Lightwave/Toaster, or download a picture in JPEG, GIF, or ILBM that is not 800×600. Step 2: Load files into TV Paint, resize, and save as 800×600 ILBM. If GIF: load into IFX, convert to ILBM, load into TV Paint. Step 3: Load resized…
Alan, Nope. Don't forget Page 0. 100+ are for Framestores, so the only option is to make a new book. The new 4.0 might, I don't know. The only thing I can think of is using your existing book, erasing or changing the pages you don't need, and saving the…
Hmmm, I thought it was the other way around. If you mean putting color pics in the background, then yes. IMHO, the Workbench is still better than the MacOS. You can view files by icon, name, (no small icon), or whatever. I don't know of a way to do 'aliases'…
#Image FX save problems
Message #48361
I'm having a problem with Image FX 1.52. Whenever I save or transfer a file to GIF, PCX, or 256 color ILBM, all I get is a black image. I'm trying to transfer pictures to be used as WB Backdrops. If I load the saved images back into Image FX,…
#VLAB-M
Message #48355
This is true, Bryan. Although I don't have VLM, my local dealer said if I wanted to get one that the Magnum 040/33 by CSA was the only board fast enough to handle VLM. Whenever Macrosystem comes out with the 060, it too will be fast enough—faster, actually. Waiting till…
Most definitely! I assume you have a 2000 or a 3000 since you have 2.1. 3.1 supports 24 bit graphic boards, allowing you to have AGA emulation on the Workbench. There's also a lot of other improvements that warrant the upgrade. It's like breathing new life into your Amiga; you'll…
Dirk, Yes they are. Some Toaster effects by third parties aren't, but Pro Wipes is advertised to work like standard Toaster effects. There's 3D effects, wipes, fades, warp effects, matte effects, animated effects, and if I had a 4000—color effects. I've been impressed by what I've seen so far with…
Dirk, If I understand this correctly: assuming I was mixing 10 music videos with fades/effects inbetween, I would first record each video to VLM (order doesn't matter) without mixing them, program VLM the order the videos will be played, and finally tell VLM which effects I want inbetween the videos…
#VLAB-M questions
Message #48329
Dirk, When you talk effects, are you talking 'Switcher Effects', Chromo FX, or both? Can you give some examples or an idea of how much cleaner and spetacular those effects are vs. the Toaster. If you mean Switcher Effects, than yes there is Pro Wipes 1 & 2. I intend…
Dirk, How many drives can you hook up to VLAB-M? If possible, I'd like to have a 2gig drive hooked up to Input 2 and another on Input 3 of my Toaster, and finally have another 2 gig hooked to the Toaster Output. Is this setup possible? On the average,…
Rich,
Bob, That really sounds interesting. Is there a way to do A/B rolling with the VLAB using the Toaster effects too? Example: Playing music video #1 on Hard Drive 1, mixing with video #2 on Hard Drive 2, and outputing through Toaster out to tape or even onto another Hard…

#Need Light 3D compressor
Message #121885
Not M-Tec, but try Software Hut at 1-800-93-AMIGA. They sell the Mtec 020 Turbo for the A500 w/ 0 ram for $99. An A2000 060 upgrade or a new A4000T with an 060 and AGA? That's the question. Chris Shepard: 030/50 A2000 with Toaster 4000 & MacIIfx via Emplant.
For about $400 you can get the CSA Derringer 030/50 mhz accelerator with a 50 mhz FPU. It plugs into the 68000 slot and was designed for the A500, but also works in the 2000 (which I have mine in.) I bought mine mail order from DeVine Computers 1-302-738-9046. M-Tec…
DKB '060 accelerator
Message #209331
I haven't seen it, but personally I'm waiting for the 060 from MacroSystems. I don't know if it'll be called WarpEngine for the 2000, but they are definitely making one. It'll have SCSI II and I think room for 64 megs of RAM. That one will just make my system…
#Help w. titling proj.
Message #119798
I'm still learning tips and tricks with my Video Toaster. I was hoping one of you guys out there could help me with a "project" involving titles with a cable show I'm doing for some friends. Basically they wanted the titles to slowly appear with the beats of the music.…
#Mainactor Pro. questions
Message #48009
Who out there is using MAINACTOR PROFESSIONAL by VillgeTronic for animations? I'd like to hear from you about how well it works when creating 24 bit animations. The main questions I have about it are: 1) Will it compress/play Lightwave 3D animations? How? 2) Does it play Full Screen, 24…
