I saw a nice new RS-232 controlled deck by Mitsubishi at SIGGRAPH. 
It's S-VHS, and costs somewhere around $3000. It's called the Diamond
something-or-other. The guy who showed it to me is Dan McGinley, senior
sales engineer (sales engineer?) at Mitsubishi, (908) 302-2883. I'd be
interested to know whether this thing can handle single-frame animation,
which I foolishly forgot to ask him...

There is also the Sony VDECK which is actually referred to as a
"video drive". It's computer controllable but can't do single-frame
animation; you have to go up to the 9650 (?) hi-8 deck for that,
which runs about $6000 or so I think.
