As far as I know (heard from an unreliable source), there won't be a Toaster
for the PC machines. The Toaster can _only_ be made on Amiga. It's some kind
of misunderstanding when people speak about a Video Toaster for the Mac. That
is because NewTek had one at some Macintosh exhibition or something once. It
didn't have anything to do with the Mac, but the word Amiga was never
mentioned. The Mac version of the toaster came with "A full WIMP multitasking
operating system, 880k diskdrives..." (all this was an A2000 with a Video
Toaster, it was called Video Toaster Workstation or something).

I am not sure about anything of the above, so don't flame me if I'm wrong.
