Really!?! I didn't know that.
I've got a toaster on the way, and WAS thinking of using it with a Voodoo via prometheus.
Have you (or anyone else) tried and found other cards not to work? I knew there was a problem with scandoublers, but not with RTG cards too...
BTW - does the PIV scandoubler still work with a toaster active?

Talk to misterdee RE toaster & PIV. You can find him on this forum. I sold him an Escom cased A4KT with PPC/PIV/VT4000/Flyer arrangement. We still stay in touch occasionally & afaicr, he sussed it out okay.
RE Voodoo On a Prometheus, I have no experience & can not advise.
Afaik, all cards in the Miggy are always active & will be initialised during the Boot process after having installed the appropiate software. The last time I used a VT4000 & PIV, I had access to the Early Starup screen, so I guess it is possible. Another option for a FF/SD with Toaster is to use a ToastScan as supplied orginally by softhut in the USA. This is of course an External solution. My A4KT is currently using a Mediator which blocks off one of the A4KT`s Video Slots (ffs) & the remaining slot is using a PIV with TV Card & MPEG decoder. Perhaps I should get my finger out & whip the Toaster into the A4KT without the Mediator, but right now, the Toaster is in an A4KD & using a ToastScan from the RGB port. Just never enough time to do much & I`m currently trying to get sorted here for a B-I-G clearout which involves 2 Big Box Amigas on PPC cards. Until my recently aquired Mediator PCI 4000D turns up, I don`t yet know which direction I am going in.
Matt H is quite right RE the Memory slots in the A4KT when using a Toaster. I use 2 x 8mb modules & again can`t vouch for a single 16Mb module actually working. If you need 2 x 8Mb modules, I have sh1t loads of them here & the Toaster still goes in.
All the best & Good luck,
Kin :-)
