Panasonic sells a PC Machine Control Interface Adaptor (IFP-232CJ) 
that lists for only $300 (street price $230?). It is designed to 
work with Panasonic's AG-7000 and AG-6000 series using the 34-pin
protocol. These are industrial grade machines, not consummer level
so they are not cheap, but less than $5,000 for the S-VHS AG-7750
editor/player. 

I have not had a chance to use the IFP-232CJ but I would be interested
in hearing if anyone has used one. It is suppose to come with
software and basic source code in addition to cables. 

Thanks.
