Thanks, Bob. Always encouraging to hear Flyer success stories. The softening of the image is, I think, a highly subjective measurement. I haven't had time to install 4.0.3. and so don't have any experience with the HQ5 setting. I do doubt, by the way, that any TBC is going to result in a cleaner signal than what you have, but that's a quibble and we may be talking about two entirely different things. I haven't (knock on wood) experienced any stuttering problem, but that could also be tied to the fact that I haven't used the Flyer much. Once I get 4.0.3. installed I intend on working it real hard if for no other reason than to determine whether or not to sell it and be done with the problems, potential and otherwise, altogether. Although I have two Amiga 4000's here, I really am concerned about the possibility of not having any machine at all because of parts problems. I'm starting to think that FAST may be a more reasonable alternative. A big factor in my decision is going to be resolutionof the drive issue by NewTek, as well as having a capability for easy-to-us action editing. Judging from the number of ads offering Amiga based Toaster systems in the various trade magazines lately, I think NewTek is losing market appeal – or it's just the rats deserting a sinking ship.
