- There is a software/hardware package that is sold by AEA that will
- allow you to receive Slow Scan TV and Weather Fax on an Amiga.
- The device connects to the parallel port on the Amiga and to the
- audio connections on the radio eqt. It sells for $299. It is a very well
- done package and works quite well. It was originally written by
- Ben Blish( Williams ) who is now Black Belt Systems. He sold the rights
- to AEA (Advanced Electronic Applications).
