Kip, I have no personal experience with this proposed set-up, only speculation. If they say it works, I'm sure it does. I still feel *personally* however, that unless there is a way to initiate a preview without going to the Amilink screen, toggling screens for every preview, trim, perform etc. would be tedious. I use my amiga for list management as well as titles and graphics and I'm always forgeting to toggle my screen, inserting a beautiful image of my edit list where my graphic was supposed to go. But I'm pretty spaced sometimes! My opinions are based on the pace I have come to expect from an online editing situation, I realize that may not be a problem for everybody. Also, don't get me wrong, I think it's great that Amilink exits. I just think if I was interested in going that route I might consider writing an extra computer into the budget (a 500? does it need slots?) I'll sell my Edge for $1000, it will control your 950, I don't know about the 9800. It has 2 BVU800 parallel interfaces and 1 BVH1100. The 950 will run on an 800 card, I don't know what parallel connector (if any) 9800's have. You're machines do all have an address track, I believe, so that takes care of one of the problems I have. I'll be interested in hearing what you learn from RGB. Mark C.
