Just because it's called back-up system doesn't mean that's the only thing we can use it for. It may be possible to use such a beastie as a digital VCR (so to speak). I had a professor who concluded that it would have been possible to send the data from the tape machine directly (more or less) to the graphics hardware. This was something like eight years ago. $500 sounds like a very good price; especially if we can write single frames or blocks of frames. Discussion welcome.
