Black Belt Systems: Why Don't you still sell the HamE? Wouldn't it be very marketable for people like me who have A3000 and don't want to fork out the extra for an AGA machine but need the increased colors & resolution? Do you still have any laying around that you'd sell? Thanks Matt

We stopped selling the HAM-E for a number of reasons; the main one was financial, but we stopped earlier than we WOULD have because we though the AGA machines were immanent. They were not, but too late to fix that now. The best bet for a 3000 is a DCTV at this point. No, there are no new units around at all. –Ben …via AutoPilot

You said "no New units"! Does that imply that there are used units available? Matt

Nope – sorry for misleading you. –Ben …via AutoPilot

Matt, I think BBS has gotten out of the Hardware Biz, I use DCTV to good Effect and they just droped the price to $299 so you might consider that option. Espescially if yer intended destination is Video Tape since DCTV puts out a NTSC signal that yer VCR will Happily accept with no need for an encoder/genlock. Due to it's NTSC nature the image is a bit "FUZZY" but quite nice. It also allows QUICK playback of yer DCTV anims in MOST cases.

I think there is a RGB option for the DCTV now (although I think the price is a bit steep). Nick

There is, I think it's $199 now that DC dropped their prices but it is still taking a NTSC signal and then converting to RGB. Not the Best Signal possible I'm sure.

Mathew, I hope to be able to get a 4000 within the next month. I will probably sell my Ham-e then. If you are interested, I'll post a message here when it's available. Any body have any opinions re the value of a used ham-e? $50? $100? $150? $0.50? Rich

Richard, I'd be very interested in your Ham-E. Please let me know when and how much! 8) Matt
