Re: Avid - "Fool me once..."

As for NLE, Avid put it on hard drives

Please don't forget the ABEKAS A62
This device was basically two hard drives with a
Digital keyer in the middle
You went from one drive to another adding a key between them
The machine would automatically swap play and record.
We did stuff like 16 sided ice cream cones with moving images
on each facet. The thing sounded like a jet turbine spinning up.
I also owned the first Avid 8000 in NYC, Bob Z installed it
and did plenty of bleeding on the Quadra 950. This was Spring of 1992.
