Hilary, JUst in passing, you might be interested in knowing that all the answers to your questions are answered in the new VTU issue (should be on newstands now). But here goes; It's a baord that occupies any of the available IBM type slots in ANY amiga that has them. If you are using any of your current slots for a SCSI card, you can remove that card because the Flyer has 3 on board SCSI controllers. One can be used to act as your main Amigados/Workbench SCSI contoller in addition to acting as a contoller for the Flyer's specialized hard drives. Although it is certainly possible to cram small form factor large capacity hard drives in your existing computer, besause of the heat buildup and power requirements of these drives the recommended setup will be to mount them externally in some form of drive case or other PC case that might also do double duty housing TBC/Vectorscope cards. As of the last time I saw the unit demonstrated (in SF two weeks back) there were no immediate plans to address VTR control via any protocol such as RS422. Machine control will fall to the aftermarket developers such as RGB and TAO. Flyer shouldn't require any more wattage/votage than your conventional TBC card or similar device, so the power supply that is currently installed with your 4000 should do nicely. Hope this answers the questions you posted. Be looking for your new issue of VTU to give you more in depth coverage. Frank
