for trashing all the prefs and bingo was his name-o, it’s back to working fine. Right before it went bad, I tried to output an uncompressed HD 8bit sequence at 29.97fps onto an HDCAM tape. The definition of simple. For some reason, Final Cut wouldn’t recognize the deck and when I restarted, General 88 appeared. It did not want to work at all until I trashed the prefs. All better now though.
