Any indication as to what slot(s) the Toaster goes in?

The Toaster goes in the video slot, and no other slots. And to dispel the other goofy rumors posted, the Toaster is a real thing. I've seen it, held it, heard its specs and an explanation of how it works, software-wise and hardware-wise. At AmiEXPOs, yes, they were running a breadboard in an A2000 without the case, and because the chips weren't scraped clean of their numbers, and because they didn't want people poking at it, they didn't have it out in the open. As for their ship dates, that's their problem – I'm sure they want it out more than you do.

It's a real thing, it's just not shipping. A recent posting seemed to imply that someone had it on good authority from someone at AmiEXPO headquarters that the Toaster demos were a bunch of smoke created by non-Toaster hardware hidden under the booth. NewTek started talking about it too early, probably to throw confusion to their business enemies.
