#A4000 Slots
7 messages in this thread
Due to the A4000 's slot deficiency when using the Toaster, and
before the 4000 Tower arrives, are there any 3rd party solutions for
extra slots? I noticed "Toaster Toolbox" in a message string-Is this
what the doctor ordered?
The Toaster Cozzy is supposed to be updated soon to the A4000.

Thanks, Vance. BTW, you still have your store/BBS?

Nope. I closed Oberon and Viking and started working for Highland
Grey Consulting Inc. in Camrose. Right now I'm just on call,
installing Toasters, 1200's and such. I should be full-time by Fall.
Highland Grey will be adding mail order in the near future, and by
that time, I may put a bbs back up for HG customers.
Trent, Most of the "solutions" I've seen only allow the power-only PC
board expansion. One has an extra video slot, but asside from that
there are none that I know of with actuall logic paths to the "slot
Boxes" except via serial port to a card (e.g. Amilink) where that is
the way they get information if they are in the main unit anyway.
FYI: Toaster Toolbox is simply a box with power supply and several extra ISA
slots (For power only, no address or data bus support) Can be used for TBCs and
such.
Toaster Toolbox can be purchased from:
