- I hope that someone can give me some good feedback on an idea
- for playing an animation in 10fps directly to a tape recorder without
- the need to buy a single frame setup. I was thinking of getting a
- tape drive (maybe 250Megs) and since an animation is basically
- sequential its kinda made for animation.
-
- I am looking specifically at the Archive 2150S Viper QIC 150MB external
- that supposedly has a peak read rate of 1.2 MB/sec.
-
- I would like to know if it is possible to play an animation from a
- tape drive.
-
- If so, what kind of software does that?
-
- Also, what is the minimum speed (transfer rate) for 10 frames per
- second in HAM6?
-
- Has anyone done this before?
-
- Can anyone who's used one of these tape drives please let me know what
- they think of them.
-
-
- Thanks.
