Amiga Hardware DatabaseCompany NewTek, USA | Date 1993 | Amiga A2000, A3000, A4000 | Interface Zorro II |
- Video Toaster controller
- a SCSI based remote controller that allows Video Toaster to be used as a peripheral for an Apple Macintosh
- as several TV stations and video production companies have experience only with Macs, NewTek had a demand for a Toaster to Mac interface system
- the system consists of the Amiga interface card, the controller software on the Macintosh, and a simple SCSI cable
- the controller software allows the use of Mac OS based image- and video processing applications instead of ToasterPaint, provides a Mac like user interface for the Video Toaster Switcher, and provides file transfers to and from the Amiga
- the interface card is manufactured by Expansion Systems, it's basically a modified version of their DataFlyer Plus SCSI card
- AMD 5380 SCSI controller
- DB25 external SCSI connector
- modified "autoboot ROM" and PALs
- SCSI ID selector jumpers in place of DataFlyer's IDE header
