Setting up a Video Toaster Flyer system

[Matt_H]

For the Toaster 4000, the "cable" actually replaces the BNC I/O board (with the 4 inputs and preview and program connectors). With Toasters and Flyers so often being sold separately these days, the cable tends to (inadvertently) stay with the Toaster instead of the Flyer. It look me a long time to find one after I got my Flyer.

Can't remember the details on the Toaster 2000. It is described in the manual (some versions, at least; mine are unfortunately far away at the moment). I think Pyromania did a scan. DLH has it on his site.

I've got a spare Toaster 2000 kicking around that I wouldn't mind pairing with another Flyer, so make that 6 cables

Actually, this might be the kind of thing that AmigaKit could do.

TBC isn't needed if you're pulling from a modern digital source (DVD player, DV video camera, etc). I think you'd still need one if you had more than one video source, but configuring that has never been clear to me - even with manuals.

When setting up my Flyer, I managed to find 3.5" external SCSI enclosures for dirt cheap. One drive in each, and all is well. Only downside is that the enclosures only take low-profile drives, and it seems like most SCSI drives tend to be taller.
