Where the heck is the video out? I know zip about
Video Toaster and
even less about the Amilink adapters. All the online documentation

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).
Are there docs for the original VT? Software?
I've got some of each, contact me off-list.
I have an OpalVision, with documentation and
software. Which is the
better board for general futzing around? For animation & graphics?
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.
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...
