The Video Toaster is tied to the Amiga because it's tied to the custom
chips as well as the NTSC timing signals.
The MAC version of the Toaster is nothing more than an Amiga 2000 with a
Toaster installed and a serial cable (and appropriate comm software)
tied to the Mac which runs as a front end controller for the Toaster.
If the PC version ever sees the light of day, it too will require the
Amiga to do all the "real" processing and to house the Toaster board and
the PC will just be used as the front-end.

I think they were showing this at a show and giving out bottles of Windex and the same time.. You can make an Amiga/Toaster IBM compatible by adding a Vortex 486 bridgeboard to it.. This is a PC coprocessor, that will work on a separate screen or Window. You can even swap between the toaster switcher and this screen and they will MULTI-PROCESS (work together concurrently.. Commodore themselves offer a 386sx bridgeboard which will run this way also... =DonB= So, IBM compatibility can be an ADD on for the stand-alone toaster itself as well.. > Bob Lindabury > >InterNet: bobl@bobsbox.rent.com | Raven Enterprises > UUCP: ...rutgers!bobsbox!bobl | 25 Raven Avenue > BitNet: bobl%bobsbox.rent.com@pucc | Piscataway, NJ 08854 > Home #: +1 908/560-7353 | +1 908/271-8878 -- ****************************************************** dburnett@emunix.emich.edu EMU Mathematics Lab Consultant Enabling Solutions PO BOX 318, Ypsilanti, MI 48198 *****************************************************
