Mainly, I think, because a time base corrector is an expensive piece of
equipment that NewTek would have had to re-invent in order to include on-board.
This would have not only delayed the release for another undetermined amount of
time, but also would have increased the cost of the Toaster and, unless I am
way off, forced them to put an extra pc board into the package.
