Hey, Hey, I've got a copyright on
'Keep On Toastin'! . . . NOT! (I can't believe I just wrote that :^)
Sounds like an interesting unit.
Is it digital straight to Y/C, since it doesn't seem to make much sense to
go from composite digital to composite analog to component analog?
And, anyway, how much of a signal improvement do you get?
Since the Toaster is D-2 internally (or so they say), and D-2 is a
compnent digital format, it seems like you would still see composite
artifacting from the compositing of the color and luminance info within
D-2 signal (it's just 8 bits at 4xSC sampling rate [14Mhz]).
Is this Y/C input too?

P.S. Feel free to use the slogan 'Keep On Toastin', I just
think its cool that others have started using it.
BTW, its supposed to be a take-off of the 'Keep On Truckin' slogan
that Robert Crumb (famous underground comic book artist of the 60's-70's)
used in his 'Mr. Natural' comic strips. If you ever have a chance, check
out his stuff – it's pretty weird (in a fun sense, not like many
ultra-violent underground rags you see today).
