Okay here's my situation, I'd love to hear any and all opinions you may have:
My main setup is this: A3000/040 (2meg/14meg) with the current peripherals: PicassoII-2meg, 2 GVP tbc+ (from when I was doing a lot of video stuff) and 32 bit ram card (w 4 megs of the 12 megs fast). In other words: my zorro slots are pretty much used up.
Previous to having the picasso I had a Video Toaster. I don't have serious use for a toaster anymore, but I miss having it around.
So here's the question: would I be stupid to replace the Picasso-II with an IV-24? Currently the only ways I can output to video is with a mediocre vga-video converter hooked up to the back of the Picasso, and DCTV. I have scala mm300 too.
Obviously the IV-24 and the tbc+s and scala would give me a sort of new toaster, with some features the toaster didn't have (although missing a lot more). Then of course I lose the support the Picasso has (for instance, I've really admired MainActor Broadcast for sometime and it supports the major graphics cards, but not the IV-24.)
I don't do serious video work but I do a little hack editing for friends now and again. I still do a fair amount of lightwave work and it renders to Picasso very nicely.
Just curious what the intelligent readers of this newsgroup might opine.
