Holy Smokes! Toaster 2000 caught on fire!

[TjLaZer]

I have my A2000 Video Toaster 2000 at work and have been working on it (added a Fusion Forty 040 card, and updated GVP ROM)  I had it left on for a while and was working on other stuff when I smelled burining electronics!  I thought one of my PCs was burning up when I went to look at the 2000 I saw smoke coming from the Toaster 2000 card! (Case was open thank gosh)  I turned it off immediately!  Looks like the toaster card is done, can I get it replaced by NewTek I wonder?

Man I cannot imagine what would of happend if I was not around!  Whole building would of been on fire!!

Well I think there must of been a problem with the Toaster card for sure, but yes! this episode makes me re think leaving vintage computers running when I am not around!  Anyone else?

Yes I just got off the phone with NewTek and they will be fixing/replacing the card for FREE!!!  They will also fix another VT4000 card with a broken BNC Connector.

Also will be ordering the 4.3 CD-ROM and manual.

NewTek kicks arse!!!!
