Hey guys, been a (very long) while!

I decided to pull out my Amiga 4000D from storage so that I can finally get her up and running! I started the project a couple of years ago, but school got in the way and... you know.

Anyways, question time!

1: What are the internal data cable pinouts for the Toaster 4K, Flyer, and Faroudja Y/C Plus cards? I have all of the ribbon cables, but I am not sure if they are installed correctly (I had to remove them to clean out the machine and do an upgrade). However, it's been so long that I have no idea.

2: I still need a mouse. I'm assuming that all of the Amiga Mice are compatible across the different models (A1K-A4KT)?

3: I also need a Video Toaster Flyer backplate. Is it possible to purchase on for a reasonable price, or would I be better off hacking a standard PC card backplate?

4: Is the power supply (especially as old as it is) even capable of running the 3 cards, 2 internal hard drives, a CD-RW drive, floppy drive, maxed out ram, and an 040 without any issues? I have no idea what the TDP of this machine would be, but I assume that the PSU isn't exactly very roomy.

5: Any way I can get some software/manuals for everything? The individual that I got everything from was supposed to send me everything, but forgot the manuals and CDs. Then he disappeared.

I'll probably add some more questions later.

Thanks!
