I have a few questions.

I have a Mediator in my A4000, can I still put in the Video Toaster?

The description states that you need an RGB Monitor (I have a VGA output through an Indivision AGA and/or a DVI output through a Radeon card) and the Toaster requires video signals with correct timings, is this going to work on this set up?

If so, I'm seriously considering buying one.  Always wanted a Video Toaster, and now that I'm quite happy with my Amiga 4000 Setup, I've been looking at some more hardware to run.  I don't have an accelerator yet though (gee, I wonder why?  I'd have to get rid of my harem to afford one!)  But I do have the 040 version of the A4000, so should be Okay there.

Sweet Promo.

Sweet!  Just ordered one, will be letting everyone know how it works with the Indivision AGA flicker fixer.

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..
