This is important stuff... (to me :-) So, could someone *please* (much begging here) tell me about their experience with the Video Toaster & A3000 combo... in these areas... - does it digitize the video signal properly... - does the moving 3-D window in the modeler work correctly... - does the jitter removal (freeze) function work properly - does NewTek still frown on toasters/A3000's Please help with info via e-mail if you can... Thanks a bunch! -Mike-

I have been told it will work if you leave the cover off and you replace
the Denise chip with an older Denise. Beyond this, I have no knowledge.

That "older Denise" problem has been fixed (combo of a bug in Denise and a bug in the Toaster software) and if you can fit it in, you can get it to work without chip-swapping. I've never seen a 3000 tinkered with, toaster-wise, but I've seen it working in one and I do know it does it well.

If the Denise problem has been solved, it's just a matter of moving a BNC connector on the Toaster. -- J. Eric Townsend - jet@uh.edu - bitnet: jet@UHOU - vox: (713) 749-2126 Skate UNIX!
