You guys have got me all nostalgic for the sound of my old 1980s 3M DC-2000 tape backup drive!
Zizzzwhir – Zizzzwhir- Zizzzwhir-for what seemed like 45 minutes to backup maybe 500 megs.
What really hurt was paying $250 per 1/4 hour for time at the local TV station for on-line ADO. Can’t imagine what that would be in today’s dollars!

Let’s go with Abekas. We had one D5 linear suite that was Accom/Axial. The other two were D2 CMX. Too many “A’s” even back then.
Nagra into a mac (Sound Designer) out to 2 Yamaha mixers with the patch bay right there in the console…
Had an ADO at my first TV station. Kaleidoscope in each edit bay.
Thanks Michael.

[Jeremy Garchow] “”Some of Intel’s partners are considering a more extreme version of that approach. It would see memory, processors, and data storage being kept in entirely separate cabinets, all linked with optical connections. “”
When I start keeping a complete data center in my closet to edit with, I’ll have to take this into consideration.

Paul – your mystery CG would have been a Dubner 10k or 20k. Great CG, I liked it much better that a Chyron. It did basic shapes and lines and custom backgrounds animation long before Chyron got all fancy.

The A72 used 3.5″ disks for storage. Tied in great with the Axial 20/20 for complete control via the editor.

Paul –
I worked on a Dubner for several years before we made the transition to Photoshop and Type Deko (which was really just the Dubner ported to the PC without the 3D module – who needs Phong shading anyway?). I loved having the K Language in Dubner – I could write “monkey proof” templates for our broadcast station’s weather screens and other graphics which needed tight control over the look, and the CG ops just had to type in the text and they were done. No mistakes, no “but I like a different typeface” stuff. It worked like a charm. Building the air sequence was a bit of a pain, but it was mighty powerful for the mid-nineties!

You got it with the A72! And yeah it had a floppy drive there at the monitor but we had those big Bernoulli drives in the tape room.

Yes, I read that part as well. Future, time unspecified, and “perhaps” most of all. Again, I will reiterate, when I have a data center in my closet I will give this some consideration. Now I might have a data center in my closet in five years or so, who knows, but I think I will leave this out of my budget projections for next year. And the year after that.
