I think everyone has become confused over the years.

I just looked at my Flyer and there is just ONE connector on the Flyer that would go to the Toaster.

See how the BNC connectors on the back of your Toaster 4000 are removable on a little separate board?

You need the version of that BNC board that has a cable permanently attached that goes to the rearmost connector on the Flyer.

The crazy twisted cable was for Toaster 2000's (the original) that weren't made with a removable BNC card.  Since it was sort of hacked on, the cable for that model was pretty gnarly.

About half way down this page are pics of before and after the replacement BNC card: http://www.rcgrabbag.com/archives/amiga-a4000t

I can get you that little card/cable combo no problem, just PM me your shipping address and I'll send one to you.

Well, I suppose that's the board that I'll need in that case...the connectors with the BNC and all that good stuff.  I'm sure I would have been a lot better off figuring all of this out if I had the manual!  Anyway, you've got my address...pm me how much I owe ya :)

After another sweaty day at the warehouse, I've FINALLY found enough cables to give some away.

I'll be sending the BNC board with attached cable to SACC-guy, esc and both types to Amigakit early next week.

Maybe you could teach AmigaKit how to make the Flyer cable so its easy for customers to find and buy new ones.

That's the idea of sending them both to AmigaKit.

It worries me that since we aren't making/stocking them any more, they won't be available when someone needs them.

I've also found a couple of used Octopus cables so far.

These really aren't hard to make, just really expensive.

I haven't decided what to do with those yet.
