I originally bought this stuff to put into my Emax samplers, but these SCSI to IDE bridges would not work with the Emax, so when I recently decided to resurrect my Amiga's (they have been packed away for over 10 years) I thought I would try them in my Amiga 2000HD, the first IDE to CF adapters I tried, did not work, so I tried some other ones I had, and they worked fine!
The Amiga is now setup with 2x 4 gig compact flash drives, a cd rom, tape drive and an 88 meg Syquest drive, it also has 2 DPS TBCII's and a PAR
card (looking for a hard drive for it).
My Video Toaster had packed it in so I bought a couple off ebay, but neither one worked, so now I have to try and get my money back from that a$$hole.
I am still looking for some other parts and pieces to get it back up to the way I had it back in the day, but I am not desperate enough to pay the exorbitant prices some people are asking for parts, so it will continue to be a work in progress for a while yet.
All-in-all, is been kinda fun (and sometimes frustrating) re-learning how to do this stuff.

Its nice to see more people popping in here lately from BC. I'm on Vancouver Island myself.
There are lots of people in Vancouver city who are Amiga fans, and even people there who fix Amigas.

For the Video Toaster cards, you might go on NewTek's forums? There's probably people there who know how to fix the cards.

BTW, did you check out http://www.amigalounge.com ? Glen's in Edmonton, and he's recently been selling Amiga stuff from site. He had an A4000D Video Toaster system on there last weekend, but I think its sold now. He might come across more video toaster stuff, you never know, and he can test it to make sure it works, before he ships it out.

Well it looks like I am going to have a lot of time to play around with the Amigas, I had a major heart attack on august 1, and I am not allowed to do much of anything for at least 3 months. I am starting to get around a bit now and decided to get the third CF card installed in the Amiga, this one is accessed from the back, so now the back one is DH0 and houses all the programs and the front two are dedicated drives for the Video toaster and AD516


My Dad had a heart attack last year and required 6 bypass surgery. Victoria has the Best Heart surgeons in Canada! Anyways, he's in his 60s and is doing fine now.
