#WB 3.1 & Toaster
5 messages in this thread
***NOTICE***
After some rabid chip switching today, have the following info:
Attempted to install Workbench 3.1 on one of our A2000 systems with a
Video Toaster 4000 card.
After installing the KS ROM, the Toaster failed to boot.
Tried several startup/library/config setups with no luck.
I don't know about A3000 or A4000 setups, but I'd certainly suggest
backing up your entire Workbench partition before installing 3.1
This is the first piece of gear/ware that failed to work.
What DOES work:
LW and Modeler 3.5 Stand Alone
ADPro
ImageFX (V1.5)
Imagemaster R/t
DPaint IV
Brilliance
Pixel 3D Pro
Interchange
Forge/Essence
Ami-Back
Quarterback
EGS 24-bit card*
Personal Animation Recorder/TBC-IV/V-Scope
ParNet
*EGS required modifiying the startup
Except for the Toaster 4000, the upgrade appears to be transparent.
Is 3.1 worth the money? That's another story…

I was talking to Newtek Tech. Support last week and they mentioned that
they don't yet have a copy of AmigaDOS 3.1, so have been unable to verify
that the Toaster software works with it.
Ahh. That would explain it. I'm sure Toaster compatability will appear
in time…

I jave 3.1 AmigaDos running on a 3000 and the Toaster works fine with it.

Interesting John. I wonder what the difference(s) in the ROM is (are)? I
was a but curious why there were different KS ROMs for 500/2000/2500,
3000/3000T, and 4000.
PS: Have you figured out a way to change the hideous green hilites on the
pointer and busy doodads? Or is this another 2000/ECS specific problem?
You can change the colors using the pointer prefs, but it doesn't survive
a reboot.
