This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.
Pardon me for butting in on this thread, but is it too late for the
Videoscape programmers to consider looking for a public message port with a
name like "VTRControl"? Then sending a simple message to it to cause the
record and waiting for the reply to verify the record is finished. This
would allow the user to write a custom vtr controller using either the
Amiga's serial or parallel port with no need for another computer in the
middle. Perhaps even a standard message format could be worked out to
command the most common vtr functions, so that anybody's animation programs
could use the same controller. Just a thought…. Regards, Mike Schulte
