No, I wasn't I shall have to look into that as soon as I replenish my supply of
round tuits.  Bv)=

Currently I am hardware hacking a PeeCee power supply into the 3000T. It's a
pretty simple solder job/shrink tubing after matching up the lines for proper
voltages and tick-line supply. The hard part was digging through the mountain
of power supplies down BLH Computers (the local re-cycle guys) for one that had
both enough ooomph and would fit the hole with only minor drilling of new
mounting holes.

Well, yeah. You are aware that a substantial portion of the first Star Wars SFX
were done on an Amiga equipped with a Video Toaster, aren't you. The Toaster
was the salvation of many a small operation who could not afford the more
expensive, dedicated, Silicon Graphics stuff.

They even made a version for the Macintrash - it was a Toaster with an Amiga
integrated into it. Hee Hee.
