I have a friend that would like to use an Amiga 500 to partake in a setup that allows him to copy and enhance video from his Hi-8 video camera to a superVHS video recorder. As he lives in Australia, all work would be in PAL format rather than NTSC. He knows very little about computers and computing in general so would like to start to learn with a relatively inexpensive setup. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. The local Apple Dealer quoted 7 to 8 thousand for a MAC setup – this is WAY out of his price range. Would he be better off with a Amiga 2000 ? What sort of RAM is usable, preferred ? What external hardware is required ? Would AmigaDOS 1.3 suffice or would 2.0 be required ? Graeme. Bought to you by //AMIGA \X/ 4000 on AutoPilot.
