    I also had an Amiga Video Flyer for a while, amazing machine for the time.

    Yeah, that's it. The Amiga 2000 or 4000 was the computer that NewTek used to run the Toaster and Flyer add ons.
    The Toaster was a board and software you added to the Commodore Amiga back in 1990.
    The Flyer was the Toaster board and a separate controller board, a separate tower that housed additional hard drives, and additional software.
    Here's the Toaster board:

    Here's a complete Toaster system. If you peel off the Toaster label you find an Amiga.

    Here's the Flyer board. It goes in the Amiga Zorro II SCSI port and could run 21 hard drives.

    You also had to add a time base corrector board if you wanted to control video tapes.​

    That's just plain impressing.
