Just ordered my Toaster Flyer board bundle... time for a brewski!
 
Mmm, Good Toast

Although some people think Aladdin is more fun. AND it is still being developed for the Amiga

Just ordered my Toast for Tuesdays! I like my toast on Friday.

Thanks for the order hardlink.

The sale ended last night at midnight. Happy Toasting to everyone that participated and thanks for your orders.

This is new Boards? I would like to buy one Flyer Card!

[giZmo350]

Yippee, got my Flyer board today! Have no clue how to use yet. :lol:
 
BAD NEWS... NO RIBBON CABLE IN THE BOX!
 
I guess I'll PM Transition.....
 
Also, do I need specific Flyer card software?
 
My BADA$$ A2000HD Toaster system is almost complete especially with it's Blizzard Accelerator!
 
One other note... I ordered a Sunrize AD516 sound card w/software and manual (looked cool on ebay), how will it help me with my toaster system?
 
Can't wait to start BURNING TOAST!

Sounds like we owe you a ribbon cable. Software is open source.

Or if you want it in a complied version NewTek has the CD-ROM available inexpensively. Sunrize card can help you make audio clips for the Flyer. Flyer has a built in DSP audio chip as well. Read all about your new Flyer card here.

OK, the compiled Flyer software is definetly the way to go! Can I just Paypall you the funds for the software and you can send out the ribbon cable with it? While I'm tossing $$$ around is there anything else cool that I would want? Anything else that would make Toasting even easier and more fun? Software / Hardware? Inexpensive essential goodies? I just want to connect my video cam and get going. Any recommended material to use as a green screen? Thanks soooo much Transition!

Video Toaster Fire and Smoke effects is a cool product and only $29.95. Sure we can find a CD-ROM of the Flyer software for you. We can send you a Paypal invoice if you like. Nice Green Screens cost around $100, we don't have any to sell. Flyer Mastery Guide is a great book for the Flyer, we have extras of those books too.

I have never used the VT software before, but I know Image FX can do green screen with ANY backdrop.

ANY = It takes a picture of whatever is in the frame and then compares it to your video.  Whatever stays static (doesn't move) is used as the green screen and whatever moves is displayed!

Literally, you can use anything (as long as it doesn't move or change) as a backdrop!  It doesn't have to be a solid color either.  It could be a book shelf, a tagged inner-city street wall, ANYTHING!

And I just got IFX off of E-bay for $0.01 plus shipping...

Of course this would only be a fun program until you add it to your new toaster/flyer system (I'm gunna use it for game graphics).

[giZmo350]

Thanks for info J-Golden! ImageFX is way cool. Poking around on the web doesn't really come up with a way to aquire it though. Guess this is not a DiscreetFX product but from Nova Design. Their website is gone. Thought maybe I could still purchase from them. Probably been gone for a long time 'eh?

Checked Aminet - no go. Where can I buy?

That is it, but here is a better one up on E-bay.

I say better because it:

- Has up to version 4.5 instead of 4.0
- starting bid is $5.00 not $9.99
- Shipping is reasonable ($8-something versus $16-something)

Happy bidding!

Arrrgggh!  I received my Video Toaster today, got all excited for it, then realized...  I have a Mediator (as said in my initial post) but it's a 4000Di, NOT the 4000D.  The difference of course being that with the Di you can still use the Desktop case, and with the D you would have it sticking out the top.  And of course more importantly, the Di doesn't have a Video slot, the bus board sits where the Video Slot is on the normal Daughter board.

This of course means that 1) I can't use the Video Toaster with either my Radeon (which I could live without the video output, but the memory that it provides is rather nice...) and 2) I'd have no network connectivity....

So unfortunately I'll have to send it back.  Unless some kind sole wants to donate an A4000 to me, and/or one of the A4000D Mediators along with a Tower I could put it into..

Bumper, you have two options. You can return it for a full refund or we can cut you a deal on a A4000 Desktop. To help you out we will let one go for $299. The choice is up to you.

Dang it! I get too busy for a few weeks and miss out time on Amiga.org and miss a great sale! Hey Discreet will there be another one in the future? Actually when I get my A2000 up and running again I will finally be able to play with that Toaster. Amiga has to come first Flyer boards later (if the wife will let me) I went overboard years ago with the Amiga and nearly got divorce papers.
