Hi, I am new to this fourm. I have an IBM "clone" 486 DX4 100 with 16 mb RAM, two IDE hard disks 1 212 MB and one 345 MB double spaced to 745MB -+, a Media Vision CD-ROM (SCSI) ProAudio Spectrum kit, VESA Video Card, VESA Multi I/O Card, two internal modems, HP ScanJet IIcx, and a Tape Drive with its own controller. I have ONE slot left If I move one of the devices over that does not use a slot (is possible??). I also have a VGA to TV device. Now…. I want to be able to create VHS video tape which will use my Sony Hi8mm Camcorder, Computer created presentation (MS Power Point or Harvard Graphics). You know wipes and swipes, and overlays, and titles. I may want to write some full motion video to disk and play with it before I move it to VHS. Question: What will I need? I know that is a big question, but I would like a big answer. What additional video boards, interface cards, connection devices should I get, and why?? I do not really want to spend a thousand or thousands of dollars. Any help would be appreciated. Hal :+}
