CompuServe Messages

Richard – I just started using the Fast Video Machine with SC Box and like it very much. I am new to the environment (Fast, not PCs) but found lurking over on the Fast VM forum (GO MULTIBVEND/Section 6) invaluable prior to my purchase. It's still one of the best forums around for support of the VM (as well as other videography questions.) The user community over there is diverse and knowledgeable. I would HIGHLY recommend you getting in touch with the following two individuals on CompuServe (via E-Mail): 1) Mike Yeager (72262,2456) Mike has what many consider to be the definitive video on the Video Machine. Many dealers pacakge his tape as the introductory tutorial to VM. Many folks (myself included) buy it as a sales demo. 2) Dan Biggs (75561,2215) Dan has just produced a tape on the Fast VM – DP/R combo. He's selling out of every run he produces, so there must be some valuable information in there <g>… Seriously, though, Dan is a good guy and works with the DP/R professionally on a daily basis. I covet a DP/R but am waiting for my EVO-9720 -> UVW1800 setup to pay back a bit of the money I've invested before I get more. My experience with drives is that they require replacement because they "become too slow", before they need to be replaced for breakage. Others here will have to address alternative solutions. All the best… db.out
