If so, can I use that and a color frame buffer under sunview? Also, is anyone using DC-300A (not XLP) tapes with any success? They have a lower density than the XLP version (3200 ftpi vs. 10000 ftpi), but things seem to work well. At $2 each (used) they were too good to pass up... ------------------------------ End of Suns-at-Home Digest ******************************
