I have been thinking of putting together a WORM disk based interactive computer
based tutorial-learning-teaching type of a package.
I would like to use an Amiga 2000 since it output is interlaced
ie..sort of NTSC PAL compataible.
Is there any place where the optical type devices for computer and
optical devices for video intersect?? i.e are there any optical
storage devices which have SCSI interface?? The articles I read in
journals, magazines and those posted here are never clear enough for
me. I would like to put together a package which can pick up images
rapidly from a storage device which is removable, ie.. magnetic HDs
won't do since the cost is prohibitive. Bernoulli boxes cannot store
enough data--and might be too slow.
Are there any suggestions as to where I might look.
