RTG options for A4000D Video Toaster Setup
« on: February 04, 2010, 07:44:10 PM »
I am build an A4000D Toaster/Flyer setup and was wondering if there are any options of using either my Retina Z3 or Cybervision64 as a graphic card option?  

I have never really fully understood RTG cards and Amigas even though I have a few of each! :)

Am I correct that either of these cards could go into any ZIII slot?

I will probably only be using this machine for the Toaster/Flyer and workbench... in other words, no games, etc.

Thanks all!
Tim

I use a Picasso II in my A4000D Toaster. Either of the cards should work with no problem if you can fit one in physically with both a Toaster and Flyer installed. A Toaster + Flyer + Octopus cable setup won't leave much room for anything else. You will need a video monitor for the toaster unless you have an indivision aga or toastscan scan doubler. I use the video input of my LCD TV for the Toaster and it will even output native Amiga modes through the Toasters video outputs after you turn the Toaster off--remember to set an opaque background before you exit the Toaster software or whatever image is in the Toasters frame buffer will be merged with the Amiga graphics.
A2500 owned since 1993 with A2630/DKB 2632, DKB Megachip, GVP EGS Spectrum, A2320 and GVP HC+8 on the inside and a DCTV on the outside. A4000D with CSPPC, Cybervision 64 and a Flicker Magic flicker fixer. A4000T Toaster Flyer & CSMKII. All systems completly retro and classic and mostly used to do geometic art as in my avatar.
