I am guessing at this so please correct me if my thought is inaccurate. I recently changed my stock a2000 power supply for a new one. I have recently tried my video toaster 2000 and it no longer starts up properly and am getting toaster not responding errors. I tried calibrating using the main timing screw on the toaster and still cannot get it work. My thought is that I am not getting a proper timing signal since I am using the ATX power supply and have set jumper 300 to the alternative position for onboard timing. I have read that the onboard tick is not precise as the line tick and may not be perfect enough for genlocks. Unfortunately I no longer have the stock power supply that supplies the tick signal to test this theory to see if the toaster starts working again. I was wondering if someone has a schematic for a independant tick signal generator that will work on the 115 AC 60 hz line? I found the tickit archive on aminet and this circuit looks to be designed for use with only 220 50hz. I am guessing that if I get an accurate tick signal, this should resolve my toaster startup problem. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
I think you have lost TICK and that is the trouble.The 3000 can derive this signal from the video iirc with a jumper change... i can't recall if the 2000 can,but you may check the schematics on the 3000 board jumper and see if it can be duplicated on the 2000?
