Good advice- it helps a lot on most digitizers.  Remember,
though, that this just doubles the lines during playback
and doesn't increase the resolution.  It's still just
fields stored on the disk.  You can interpolate the lines
in between for a smoother picture, if you want.  Makes some
things look a lot better.

Also, only playback with the AC adaptor.  Running off
batteries kills them quick and is more likely to make your
time base irregular.  I didn't have trouble running from
battery power but I've heard some do.  Besides, you can
recharge your battery while you're using the AC adaptor.

(I don't digitize on my NeXT ('cause the University
didn't buy me enough stuff to do it), so your mileage may
vary.  I do it on my Amiga and then walknet the pictures to
nova.  Damn fine images too.)
