Laurie, There is a PC versioin of the PAR. If it is the same as the Amiga version (except for the bus) it supports output in NTSC, S-VHS, Betacam and MII. You could use an Amiga/PAR setup to take targa output from a PC and transfer it to tape. I'd connect a Bernoulli Box (or some other external removable hard disk) to the PC, format the cartridge under DOS and dump the targa frames to the Bernoulli. Then connect the Bernoulli to the Amiga and have Adpro (or some other image processing prog) read each targa frame, convert it to iff24, and write it to the PAR. Note that you need CrossDOS to read the DOS formatted Bernoulli from the Amiga. The half gig Seagate hard disks are supposed hold 3 to 5 minutes of video. I cannot confirm these numbers as I have never filled up my hard disk completely. You are probably better off getting one of the Micropolis hard disks, they are bigger and faster.
