Thanks for the kind words, Don. Coming from you, that's a real compliment! No, I haven't tried to PAR-ize the Quantum. It's SCSI, so I couldn't even experiment if I wanted to. Sounds like as interesting thing to try, though. I basically got it to hold frames and backups for/from the PAR drive. Keeping examples of your work around on video is exactly how I do it, too. Every time someone needs some SP output and I have a PVW or UVW over here, I take the opportunity to put whatever animations I might have laying around to BC-Metal tape for archival purposes. Also, having a running history of first-generation SVHS dubs of my work is a decent way of demoing it here at my "studio". And of course all this helps to keep my PAR drive relatively free for new projects, etc. If you keep it up with all this interesting (lucrative?) video work you are talking about, you'll have your Abekas before you know it!<g> -Alan
