Hi Larry, I have the same PAR, what I am going to tdo is use some sort of
networking software to transfer files to the Amiga. ParNet and a null modem
cable will work in a pinch and you can download the software from most Amiga
BBS's. Then I will send them to the PAR for playback. The only advantage the
PC PAR has over the Amiga PAR is a program called Razor which lets you do
Non Linear editing(no need for this if you have the Flyer). The TBC4 does
not have to be in the Amiga, I have mine in a old PC. I ran out of room in
the 4000. The PC is a old 8086, old but makes a good power supply. The only
thing is you will need to keep both machines very close because of the multi
pin cable that is hooked to the PAR and the TBC4. To bad DPS is not letting
user trade PAR's for a low cost fix.
Hope that helps...
Don Smith
