        Well, back here in New Jersey, at our monthly Amiga Video Sig 
meeting (a division of JAUG, an Active/ASDG co-operative... :) we had a DCTV 
plugged into my A3000/25, Princeton Graphics' Ultrasync and my Sony 27" 
monitor. Beautiful results - we ran the rotating Mt. St. Helens demo (very 
clean, and if it had more than 12 frames it would have been smoother) and 
did some painting and digitizing.  It's a bit faster with the A3000 than 
it's usual host, a 2000 (a bit? HAH!) and it really cranked when we had to 
do a bit of converting from DCTV format to IFF24. A very nice device - when 
I get enough $$$ to invest, I'm probably heading that way.  BTW, we ran it 
with my digitizing pad in place and saw no problems at all - in fact it was 
very, VERY intuitive. I think you'll enjoy it immensely!
