Title: Toaster Flyer ribbon cable HELP!!
Post by: TjLaZer on August 21, 2007, 04:12:42 AM

I just bought a Flyer card off ebay.  The seller has no idea about the ribbon cables.  I am not sure either but I do know there is atleast 1 cable that connects the Flyer to the Toaster 4000 card!  Is there just 1 cable??  It's attached to the BNC board correct?  She claims she cannot remove the cable and it is built into the Toaster 4000 card!  So I am thinking she has to remove the BNC board to remove the cable, correct? HELP!!!!

Yes, the Flyer is supposed to come with a replacement BNC board which has the interface cable permanently attached to it. The Toaster4000's original BNC board should have been stored away for safe keeping.

I am flipping pissed off.  The seller would not swap out my BNC board for hers so I can use the flyer card.  Instead she capitalizes on it and resells (http://cgi.ebay.com/Amiga-Video-Toaster-4000-Card_W0QQitemZ270159272080QQihZ017QQcategoryZ4598QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) the toaster on ebay!  I ended up buying one from NewTek, Inc for $50 but I could of had it with my purchase of the Flyer.  People like this really piss me off.  I am restraining myself on leaving her some feedback...
