TCI Bay Cablevision (Berkeley and Richmond) used

instead.
That happened frequently on y cablesystem (whoever NW Suburban Chicago
had in the early 90s) as well. Once I even got to watch them create
the new slides (in Scala, I think) over the air :)
I heard that the Video Toaster people actually
got HOSTILE reactions from
some Mac fanatics, so they made a BIG box containing a video toaster and
an Amiga, and sold that as a "Macintosh peripheral".
Wasn't there also an Alpha-based add-on unit? Or was that after
NewTek stopped using Amigas?
The only Alpha based add-on I saw here was the turboCHANNEL Denali monster
used by ProEngineer in the mid 90s, this of course doesn't mean others
didn't exist. If I forget everything else I'll always remember the size of
the cable that ran between the host machine and the separate Denali box, it
was *thick*
