Well it does make the 10 year rule. The Toaster came out in late 1990
or early 1991. The A2000 dates from 1988 or so.

I get my DB23's from Gateway Electronics in St. Louis. You might be
able to get a cable either from Redmond Cable or from Software Hut.

I have a toaster 2000 card as well, and need the software to fire it
up. I have a complete set of disks for a toaster 4000, but I don't know
if that will work with the older card.

If you have any other questions, contact me off-list.
