- 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.
