Since I abandoned the MS-DOS environment for video animation (I still think
it's gangbusters for DTP) some other fool I work with is willing to break
his teeth on turning his perfectly good clone into an video machine. I quit
trying to figure that out a long time ago, but he seems to want to try.

He's got a 486-33 with a 280Mb hard drive, 8Mb RAM, an SVGA/VESA diplay
board, and a Video/VGA I/O board. In software we've got AutoCAD Rel. 11
w/AME, AutoShade, 3D Studio, Renderman, Animator, and Animator Pro.

What's he need produce moving pictures? He wants to do 3D modelling &
animation in 24-bit resolution as well as 2D animation.

I know he needs a frame buffer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Don't
worry about getting the rendered frames to tape, we just want to get NTSC
or S-VHS out of the damned box.
