#Toaster Dealer
I put a Toaster in my A3000 (cutting out a 3/4" sq. hole in the vented
area at the rear-left-top of the back panel – very easy). I didn't have
any problems until I put in a GVP 040 (w/ 2MB of high-speed RAM & LOTS of
extra GLU chips onboard to really suck the power). The next morning, my
system would not power up if the Toaster was installed. NewTek replaced
the Toaster, I replaced the Power Supply, and everything was well after
that.
(Well, sort of, the GVP board STILL had thermal problems, and after
sending it into GVP twice in the first month, they swapped it out for a
different board that has blazed along in my A3000 for the last month w/o
any problems. [An 040 is *really* nice too!])
Keep On Toastin' (or at least, give it a try),

P.S. NAB is only 2 weeks away, so you might want to hold out 'til then.
I'm bracing myself for the painful cost of the next upgrade to LW. :^)
