spihunter -// Is there any reason for me to ever upgrade to later toaster software? Does it add anything for a Toaster 2000 user? \\-
You will want to go to at least VT3.5 software with a VT2000 card, LW 3.5 is exellent. Upgrading to VT4.x will not be much of a benefit as far as card functions. I does allow some use of the flyer functions for still image framestore slide shows. AGA related functions will not work, I think this includes ToasterPaint AGA features, but TP will still function and display the image to the Toaster frame buffer in 24bit.
I slapped together a A2000 with 1meg chip, 8meg fast and a SupraTurbo'28, VT2.0. It ran, one app at a time. LW crawled/crashed. The CG app (Character Generator) refused to load large page files. Unpractical even from a minamalist point of view. An '030 with 16 megs ram is sufficent, but the VT really needs 2 megs of chipram, an '040 and 32 megs of fast ram to function nicely. NewTek didn't support past Amgia os3.1, recommends 3.0.
I managed to score a MegaChip for less than $45 delivered. ...and yes, it was through EBay. Matter of fact, most my Amiga aquisitions have been through EBay.
