No, they're a proprietary form factor. 64-pin, IIRC. Bigger than
30-pin, smaller than 72-pin. Bah!
It's more a matter of ventilation than insulation. I'm sort of
paranoid about processors with no room for airflow.
Doc
If it's in there, it's a card on the opposite
side of the power supply
from the other cards in the machine. Should have 6 BNC connectors on
it,
the bottom two are Program and Preview outputs (I *think* in that
order,
can never remember).
Oh, yeah, the board set is there. I just can't find any specific
diagrams or instructions.
Are there docs for the original VT? Software?
I've got some of each, contact me off-list. Never heard of that. The VideoToaster is good for
(live) video
switching/effects, titling, and that's about all. There's a 3D
animation
package, but you're probably better off with a good modern PC with a
good
video card. Things take AGES to render on something that slow.
If I want to do serious rendering, I'll probably fire up the
AS2100A.... This is strictly a toy.
Are the
SIMMs for the A3001 unobtainium? I have a 33MHz CSI
Those look a lot like 72pin SIMM slots. Have you tried parity or
non-parity 72pin SIMMS from a PC or MAC yet?
"Derringer 030" in the other 2000, but I don't like the clearance
between the top of the accelerator and the drive bay - basically none.
That's what electrical tape is for...
