Well, my Amiga hard drive died before I could make a backup...and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some reasonably priced copies of the old video toaster software. I saw this thread (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=20468) which says that newtek will ship you a cd for $30. Does anyone know if they still do that?

Yes, they do. I recently purchased the Toaster 4.3 software (the last version) from NewTek, and they sent it right out. Have your Toaster board's serial number if possible so they can get you registered in their support system.
I have just set up a 2000/060 system with Toaster and Flyer cards and everything is working great.
NewTek will send a CD-Rom with 1 floppy disk. Great company to still support their earliest products all these years later.

I had the exact opposite experience with them. They refused to send me the software without registering my toaster. Ok, but they refused to register my toaster until the previous owner transferred it to me. Got my toaster at a thrift store - no idea who owned it before... newtek didn't care about me - just protocol.

I just checked and we're out of them. There might be one or two stashed away somewhere in torn boxes, but nothing we could charge for. We're effectively out :(
We do still host some disk images for the install floppies needed for 4.1 and 4.2 CD's here:

and

I'm not sure if DiscreetFX is still selling the Millennium upgrade, but that is the first place you should look. That's the latest and greatest with all the patches.
We did open source the Toaster Flyer software, so I wouldn't feel too bad about "finding" the 4.2 or older versions, but I'd definitely pay DiscreetFX if they're still selling Millennium.
