- I recently installed a Toaster 4000 in my A2000 with a GVP030 and haven't had
- any problems except for a seeming incompatibility between the VT4000 and my
- ICD FlickerFree Video II board. I get no signal out of the FFV to my 1942
- monitor with the VT4000 installed. It worked fine with my VT2000 board. If
- anyone has any ideas on this problem please let me know.
