I know....... I've been dreaming of it, too, ever since I saw the first TV

It is! Mine arrived yesterday. It will be a few days before I can check it
out because I have to clear a slot in the workbench computer and it just so
happens the hard drive is going bad and has to be replaced, too. Time....!

THAT already exists, pal. A 3rd party product for the CE-232 Interface
called "VADER" is an AT card that essentially is a solid state recorder, with
all
intercepts managed by indexes and keys for playbacks by channel, frequency,
time, or several other variables. Only one at a time, though. A software
version of the much the same thing is about to come down, too, I hear.
