Okay, I can't, and would never give names, but:

My sources (More than one, more than two, in fact, but less than 5.
:) tell me:

There is NOT going to be a "Mac Toaster" in the sense that there is no
"Toaster on a card" for a mac.  There is now in development an
interface for the Mac to use the Amiga Toaster on the external amiga.

The boys (and girls) in Alcatraz are already working on the next
generation toaster, as well as a few other nifty products they told me about.
