Yes, but you have to hardware hack (and void the warranty).

They like selling the "Standalone" toaster for more than a 3000 + toaster
combo.

Here's what you have to do:
1.  Move a BNC connector on the backedge of the Toaster
2.  Run the *old* denise chip set in your A3000.  Rumor is that some sort
of bug in the Toaster has been fixed to allow the new denise chipset,
but I don't know if it's true.

This information comes from "AdVid" (I think that's the name of it), a
magazine I mysteriously began receiving for free.  They showed pictures
of the hack, and discussed the fact that it voids all warranties, but
it *does* work.
