#Toaster in 3000?
6 messages in this thread
RAD, So I've read some of the dis about the Toaster not fitting in the
3000. Is the problem just mechanical – a size problem, rear opening, etc.
or is there some other hitch. If it is just a matter of enough space for
BNC connectors out the rear as has meen reported, I for one have no qualms
about haking the case to fit as needed. But if it's a compatibility issueI
do hope you guys will have this solved quickly as a lot of peop le are not
interested in buying older Amiga models just to run the Toaster. So what's
the story? -Chris
The talk on Bix is that the durn card doesn't physically fit in the case
(they assumed more headroom then is available on the 3000, er side-room
actually in the 3000 case). Reliable sources also say there are some
timing glitches on the 3000 too, but the physical size of the card is
enough to make it a no-go.

I've heard it's only the case metal interfering with the BNC connectors.
An early A2000 spec said "put your connectors in this region", the A3000
enforced it. Now, I've heard Commodore is considering changing the A3000
case to go back to the A2000 level of freedom. I haven't heard of any
electrical problem.
Thanks for the info. I do hope it is just a physical thing that might be
remedied with a skill saw and hammer 😉 Anyways, I guess I'll bug the
NewTeks over in their forum about the timing questions anether they have go
one running in a 3000 with the case off.

What is the toaster? (excuse my ignorance).
