I think "real English" is more MartinF's territory <g>, but here goes:
The Sony EVO-9650 is a Hi-8 format tape deck suitable for frame-by-frame
animation (as opposed to a frame-accurate deck, a distinction I won't bother
to get into here!)
It has serial control, and can run with a software driver only, no hardware
board required. We have a loaner in our office from Sony at the moment if
you want to see/touch/feel one.
3DS3 comes with an ADI driver to run it, absolutely free (we should know, we
wrote it! Gus strikes again, just when you least expect it!)
Hi-8 is a less expensive format to start out with on frame-by-frame
animation, and the quality is pretty good with the exception of drop-outs
which have some people pulling their hair out on this forum!
