Saw it a couple of days ago & just couldn't be arsed!  :roll:

Ya gotta laugh!

Um, sorry to break it to you guys but this is a video toaster, but not for the Amiga as his title says.

This is the NT version for Windows...

That board is a Video Toaster. It is a NewTek VT[4] PCI card for a PC running Windows.

[save2600]

Yes indeedy that's a WinTel Toaster. I clearly remember when NewTek started selling these. It was soo strange that they'd "betray" the Amiga like that  :-(  

But business is business.

[CLS2086]

can it work in PAL 50 Hz mode, or is it locked in NTSC 60 HZ mode ?

@ nine3o, save2600 & CLS2086

I don't think we were discussing the fact of it NOT being a "Video Toaster" in it's own right.
We were discussing the fact it is NOT an "Amiga Video Toaster", as is IS advertised!  ;-)

Good Wordage!  :-D

[Vlabguy1]

Um ...well if this is a NewTek product I'm shocked at the poor build quality..

Yeah, it's a Windows toaster from back in the day.

But the auction is screwed.

Of course the title says "Video Toaster Amiga"

But then later in the auction it says,
"will only aide in getting the drivers and card working in windows"

So he knows it's for Windows but advertises as Amiga anyway???


Then above the pictures it says,
"Will be able to Supply Video Toaster 1.0 Software"

Then below the pictures it says,
I will be shipping the Item with a copy of Video Toaster 4.5

So maybe he just mean you get both 1.0 and 4.5??  Just strange he say one thing and then later another.  Like above auctioning as Amiga then clearly saying he knows it for Windows.

you can report it for having a misleading title if you want.

Eh, Some one already bid the opening price of $25.   The guy put a buy it now price of $400.

Hopefully, people will realize it's a shakey deal and the guy that already bid knows it for Windows and ends of just getting it for $25 bucks.   :-)
