Mike – Remember, they didn't announce a multiplatform Flyer. They only said they could have one within 12 months. You're right on that. However, Tim made note of the fact that the Flyer was one of the most comprehensive boards ever made. It has four stereo channels, in/out, an input video digitizer, dual output video channels (all requiring AD/DA conversion) and three dedicated SCSI-II controllers for 21 devices. It can also digitize and store time code. And interface with the Toaster for control communications. Tim felt it indicated what engineering capabilities Newtek now had (the best team he's ever seen at Newtek) and that they could do most anything now. A Flyer without a Toaster to drive would be a race car driver without his car. Time will tell, especially if Alex tires of these delays and goes away disgusted (as indicated by a previous post by Dan Stets). Hank/Videology – Where you get all the P.O.M.P. under all Circumstances
