I am so sorry I missed the Amiga. It is Legend. And it did the FX for Sea Quest DSV. Digital Toaster, I remember that.

Amiga. . . It is Legend. And it did the FX for Sea Quest DSV. Digital Toaster, I remember that.

I still have my Amiga 3000. Don't know if it still works because I haven't booted it in over six years.

The Video Toaster did effects for Sea Quest DSV, also Deep Space Nine, Star Trek Voyager, and Babylon Five. Some of the special effects in movies as well as TV. The Amiga by itself, without the Toaster, did Max Headroom animations.

I got a kick out of the PC and Macintosh Video Toasters... they were complete Amiga 2000s with the NewTek Video Toaster card and a cable that connected them to the PC or Mac and allowed the PC and Mac to act as keyboards for the Amiga. We Amiga users referred to them as the most expensive dongles in the world.
