Okay, I'm looking to buy a genlock to play around with. I want the cheapest available but I've heard warnings against them. However, the only purposes I have in mind at the moment are home video titling and putting computer animations on tape. I would be making stuff for my own use, nothing professional. I might consider making short animations then dubbing sound later. So I'm wondering, wouldn't something like an Amigen be for me? BTW, I have an A500 with 1meg and NO video enhancing hardware (flicker fixer, etc). I'm looking for a price under $200, the more under the better. Any suggestions? Roger P.

Actually, I'm not looking to buy one, but I saw this posting not more than a few hours after I built a MIDI adapter for my brother's 500. So I'm kind of in the mood to build something else. I would expect that a genlock would be harder to build than the MIDI adapter, but I know absolutely nothing about video and I'm curious now. Does anyone out there have a schematic for a simple one? If not, what would be involved in making one? Just need to satisfy my curiosity now.
