"a relabeled Amiga 2000 or Amiga 4000 containing a plug-in board, along with software to make it communicate with a PC or Apple Macintosh."? As far as I remember the only thing the Mac or PC was used for was to prop up the monitor. Any source to this? // Liftarn

The best source would be old Video Toaster-specific magazines from the early 90s, none of which I have. I specifically remember Macintosh users bragging that they could "now get a Video Toaster too."
