PowerWave with the special riser card, the name of which I've forgotten, installed. Someone just offered one (the card) on the Swap List in the last day. A friend of mine did second tier support for Power Computing. That card never worked right. I wouldn't rely on it. > It'll also >work with a 7100 but not a 6100. The 7100 has issues with the VVS. The 8100 would be the best choice and then the 8100/110, because the NuBus BART4 chip in the earlier 8100s have issues with Block transfers. You want the BART21 chip. The 9150/120 would also work, but it's a rare machine. I don't think you can use the VVS in the Power Computing Power 120 (8100 clone) because the CPU heat sink gets in the way of full-length NuBus cards such as the VVS. But this really belongs over on First PowerMacs and/or the Quadlist. Unless....there was also a PCI version of the Video Vision Studio card. You might want to consider that. If you're looking at video capture starting from scratch--don't have a computer, don't have a card--I'd explore the options and get smart on the topic first. The Aurora Fuse is well thought of, works in PCI Macs, but is more expensive than a used VVS. But Radius is long gone, so there's no support for the VVS and reports are that it can be tempermental. The easiest thing is just to buy a nice digital video camera with analog input. By the time you buy a computer and a VVS system and if you account your time worth anything, the video camera might be cheaper.
