Any Toaster users in here?
by Tom Westgate on May 12, 2008 at 1:05:08 pm

Any old schoolers left who are still familiar with ye olde Toaster? I picked one up on Craigslist and am having trouble getting to working.

The Amiga (2000) works great. But when I start up the Toaster, I get a "could not obtain Switcher font" error. I researched that and copied over the fonts folder from the VT disk 1, but it still yields the same error.

Any advice?

[Tom Westgate] "Any advice?"

Well, I'd start with a recommendation that buying 20 year old technology on eBay is probably a pretty good way to get errors that will be rough to troubleshoot.

Good luck, TL.

Umm, thanks?

This is just for nostalgia. I'm a collector. It'd be fun to get it working again. If not, I only spent $50 on it and I know it'll go for a few hundred on eBay.

Woohoo! It's working!

Tonight, I popped the Kickstart disk out of the floppy drive and it worked like a charm!

I'm in 1991 heaven!
