   No, I wasn't I shall have to look into that as soon as I replenish my supply of

   Currently I am hardware hacking a PeeCee power supply into the 3000T. It's a   
   pretty simple solder job/shrink tubing after matching up the lines for proper   
   voltages and tick-line supply. The hard part was digging through the mountain   
   of power supplies down BLH Computers (the local re-cycle guys) for one that had   
   both enough ooomph and would fit the hole with only minor drilling of new   
   mounting holes.

   Well, yeah. You are aware that a substantial portion of the first Star Wars SFX   
   were done on an Amiga equipped with a Video Toaster, aren't you. The Toaster   
   was the salvation of many a small operation who could not afford the more   
   expensive, dedicated, Silicon Graphics stuff.   
      
   They even made a version for the Macintrash - it was a Toaster with an Amiga   
   integrated into it. Hee Hee.
