Commodore has recently introduced a new 68000 based microcomputer with nice graphics capability, and this is one of their accessories for it: (the following is from Commodore's 16-Sep-85 suggested retail price list) Part # Product Description Price Avail ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1300 Genlock An interface to allow the computer to 249.95 Dec synchronize to external video sources such as VCRs and laser disks for increased graphics cababilities. Do you think that this would allow the Amiga to display and manipulate external video images on the computer's own screen, e.g., TV in a window? Additionally, while deciding what VHS VCR to purchase (I eventually chose the old Magnavox VR8445SL for $699), I noticed the AR8214BK Sync Coupler, that provides Gen Lock capability for the Magnavox VR8282 video camera.
