I think this one just squeaks by the 10-year rule...
Today I visited the high school I used to go to, and walked out with an
Amiga 2000 with a Video Toaster. (Yes, I legally walked out with it...)
Anyhow, I've got the thing 'seemingly' working, but the manual for the
Toaster says that it either needs an RGB monitor connected or a terminator
on the RGB port. Does anyone here know of a source of cables for this
thing (I'm a tad low on 23pin dsub connectors) or a pair of connectors so
I can connect my A1084S up to it? For now I'm using the monochrome NTSC
output from the computer, but I would like to have a color display (and a
properly functioning Toaster).

Well it does make the 10 year rule. The Toaster came out in late 1990
or early 1991. The A2000 dates from 1988 or so.
I get my DB23's from Gateway Electronics in St. Louis. You might be
able to get a cable either from Redmond Cable or from Software Hut.
I have a toaster 2000 card as well, and need the software to fire it
up. I have a complete set of disks for a toaster 4000, but I don't know
if that will work with the older card.
If you have any other questions, contact me off-list.
