#Win95 Compatible

Can any of the current commercial editing sustems (Miro, D/Vision …) run in
the Windows95 environment? What about editing software packages like Adobe…?
Thanks
Beta testers for Windows '95 are sworn to secrecy, but I can tell you from
personal experience with the Miro that you should not rush out to buy a preview
copy of Windows '95 yet. There are lots of advantages to Windows '95 when it
comes to VISCA control or using Motion Video cards that conform to the latest
driver specs. I think the Orchid Videola does, for instance. I use Win'95 all
day every day. Even programs as demanding as Adobe Premeire run well. And
it's possible that my problems with the Miro drivers (which seem to work OK in
Win 3.11) might be configuration errors on my part.

Thanks Jim. I too have been working in Win95 for a long time and am now using
the "final beta release" but I know that a number of graphically intensive
programs do not run well in 95. I'd like to get the Miro but I am "stuck" with
Win95 so I guess I should wait to hear something from Miro.
Is there any communication from Miro on this subjetct beyong WAIT?
Trinity, an new desktop video product Play will be unveiling at NAB, is built
to take advantage of Win 95 and Win NT's multi-threaded, pre-emptive
multi-tasking nature. It works great! 🙂 (I'm one of the designers) See my
post in "News and Rumors / Major New Product at NAB" for information.

Thanks Steve, sounds promising (Win95 memory issues aside). If you need a beta
tester let me know.
