Erik. As I understand it, there has been some hookup which allows the Mac and
Amiga/Toaster to work in unison. The Toaster board remains in the Amiga, but
control is from the Mac.
If a special arrangement could be made whereby the Toaster hardware would fit
and operate in a PC 386/486, think its application in an Amiga would evaporate.
I was very surprised to know that the Amiga-4000 and Toaster would NOT operate
together. One would think that Commodore would come up with some "fix" to allow
this – as it would then add considerably more sales potential.
It is also a pity that Commodore have not designed a machine which can be
updated by the customer – rather than having to buy a new model. This is the
trend it some of the newer PC motherboards.
Probably we shall see the new video/Toaster related products emerge in the NAB
show in about 2/3 week's time. It should be interesting.
Best regards, HILARY.
