The timings required by the Toaster are extremely precise, so it's probably hit or miss if it'll work. Software-wise, you'll almost definitely need a separate bootable partition without the Mediator stuff on it.

Remember that only the tower versions of the Mediator actually have/allow access to a video slot.

I was also suspicious - about mediator and the video toaster timings...  however can you say this with more certainty?? (do you have or have you attempted such a setup?)

The Toaster is on the video slot which is basically the 23 pin video port, the parallel port and the two audio channels (plus some other lines) on a slot.   I can't imagine how the mediator could effect it.   The Flyer is basically a complete computer on a card hooked to the zorro-II bus (and uses very little of that bandwidth), so I dont think it likely the mediator will effect it either.
