Sorry to cross-post this to so many non-forsale groups, but this product 
is animation-specific and I wanted to catch the right people.

A friend of mine has a new baby and asked me to help him sell his DPS 
PAR, barely used, still in the box with unused warranty cards.  For 
anyone that isn't familiar with the board, it's one of the best boards 
available for storing and transferring animations.  It writes 
broadcast-quality computer animation sequences directly to a hard drive 
and plays them back in real time.  We thought it was sold once, but the 
deal fell through and now he really needs to sell it, so he's drastically 
reduced the price. 

Here's the box description:

The DPS PAR board fits in a slot and connects directly to a dedicated 
hard drive.  24-big RGB files created by almost any animation program are 
processed and compressed by the PAR card and then transferred in a 
component digital format to the dedicated drive.  DPS PAR software makes 
it easy to copy, delete, merge, split, loop, dupe and otherwise modify an 
animation without introducing generation loss.  To put an animation on 
tape, just connect a VCR to one of the PAR's video outputs, put the VCR 
in record mode and then click on the PAR's play button.  The PC PAR 
accepts 24-bit IFF, Video Toaster and SGI files (from Lightwave and other 
programs).

With an optional NTSC or PAL video capture daughterboard, you can record 
live video with the PAR.  Stored video segments can be played back 
normally or in slow motion.  They can also be exported as sequential RGB 
files, which makes it easy to perform rotoscoping and other effects which 
combine live action with animation.  You can even use the PAR for 
time-lapse recording.

Here are the features as they're billed on the box:

- Real Time Broadcast-Quality Video Playback from Hard Drive
- 60 Fields/Sec
- Component (Betacam/MII) Output
- Genlock Input
- Video Bandwidth > 5.5 MHz
- S/N >60 dB
- Integrated IDE Controller
- CVE Port for Optional Video Capture Card
- GPI Trigger

- Variable-Speed Slow Motion Playback
- Archive with standard tape backup software

Optional VT-2600 NTSC Capture card
- Use with NTSC and S-Video inputs and outputs
- Full software Proc Amp Controls
- Also functions as TBC card

My friend is asking $1000 OBO, including a Seagate Medalist 1 gig AV 
drive, bought for the PAR, that he'd be willing to include in the deal.
