If it's in there, it's a card on the opposite side of the power supply
from the other cards in the machine. Should have 6 BNC connectors on it,
the bottom two are Program and Preview outputs (I *think* in that order,
can never remember).

I've got some of each, contact me off-list.

Never heard of that. The VideoToaster is good for (live) video
switching/effects, titling, and that's about all. There's a 3D animation
package, but you're probably better off with a good modern PC with a good
video card. Things take AGES to render on something that slow.

Those look a lot like 72pin SIMM slots. Have you tried parity or
non-parity 72pin SIMMS from a PC or MAC yet?

That's what electrical tape is for...
