Sure.. but what is the cost of getting it to video? I use Scala MM300
for video titling (retired BT2 SHR ages ago) and tying in animations
along with photo stills. Works great and no problem outputting it to
tape with the SuperGen. I also have a PC sitting here (using it now)
and am totally confused on what to get and from who (or even if they
will be around in the future. All of the companies arent going to make
it selling vid cards). I just hope that the Amiga will not be left
behind for the 'greener' PC pastures.
