Thats a very low target price for what you are asking but a couple possible
solutions come to mind. The Panasonic AG7750 is an S-VHS editting recorder
with TBC and 2 channel audio + HiFi. It retails for $6500 but I believe
some mail order houses sell it for under $5K. There is also a new unit
from JVC that doesn't have a TBC but has builtin support for computer driven
animation/single framing. It is the BRS605U and lists for about $2200.
With the money left over, you could buy a DPS personal TBC for $850 that
will plug into the Amiga or get a standalone unit like those frome Showline
for around $2K.
