Ok, I got 4 replies in a few hours - seems
like NEC is not a bestest choice. So,
does anybody knows any other (S)(Hi8) VHS
models, that can be controlled from computer
(like RS232, Sony L, ..., whatever)
actually i use NeXT,
and have real still frame? I don't really care about
audio and all fancy editing stuff.

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.
