WTB Toaster 4000 4.1 install disk

[Heiroglyph]

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but we still keep most of the install disks and updates on our public FTP.

If you dig around in /pub there are several folders of Amiga stuff.

It sounds like bad floppies to me.  They get old and start to lose data after a while.

You've got way more drive space than you need.  Back then a 500MB drive was huge.

If anything, you will want to partition the drive smaller to avoid problems.  Those old OS's weren't anticipating multiple GB's of storage space.

Also be aware that somewhere around disk 30 of the Toaster 3.x install there is a high density floppy disk.  If you don't have a high density Amiga floppy drive, then it's not going to be able to read it and you won't be able to continue.

I only remember 4.x on CD, but assuming there was a version on floppies it may also switch to high density at some point during the box of floppies.

I'd try to track down a CD version and the couple of floppies needed to install it if you can read CD's in the machine.

Heiroglyph, I just reread the post and I would love to get some install CD's.

Officially you'll have to buy the 4.3 CD, I think some places still carry them.

You can also find them used.  Get at least 4.2 if you have to pay for it.

I read on another post that you worked on the croma key devices?
 
 
I have one and it works all but the slide fade does not work, what does this slider do? You said that they get dirty.

Get some electronic contact cleaner and spray in the slider.  It's just like old amplifier knobs, they get corroded.  Hose the slider down with that and slide it back and forth for a while, chances are it will start working once it dries out.

Edit: Oh, the slider has to do with the amount of blue that is removed (use blue, the red option sucks)  The slider adjusts how close to blue actually keys out, from none all the way to things that are barely blueish.

The MS Chromakey doesn't key green.

also when I bring in using toaster paint some of the stock art work it only fills half of the screen. The croma is on one side and the art work the left. Any ideas?

The max transfer on your hard drive is set wrong.  Find the Toaster Flyer FAQ in the FTP site I listed and the exact answer is in there somewhere.
