I started the project on       SVHS and returned the (expensive) recorder when it was clear I wasn't going to       complete it and I have no idea what became of that/those SVHS tapes. I did       some old VHS tape restoration/digitization a few years ago and did not come       across any tapes that looked like they had potential to be that project (e.g.       non were SVHS). But if I ever do, I'll be sure to digitize it/them...       --         digital man (rob)              Synchronet/BBS Terminology Definition #70:       SEXYZ = Synchronet External X/Y/ZMODEM file transfer protocol driver       Norco, CA WX: 76.2øF, 55.0% humidity, 4 mph SSW wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 18/200 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201       SEEN-BY: 123/131 129/305 153/7715 214/22 218/0 1 215 501 700 720 810       SEEN-BY: 218/820 840 850 860 880 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 112 113       SEEN-BY: 229/206 275 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 282/1038 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/280 712/848       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
