<DIV><FONT size=3>Hi Ed:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Perhaps a pic of what you actually have would be
helpful. DPS (which became a part of Leitch which is now a part of Harris)
made many different models of TBC's ranging from somewhat expensive models
to fairly basic models. The single board "personal" series were their
least expensive units. You've referred to the single board models but also
to something that has multiple cards. That could be one of several
"Expansion Systems" which they offered. These were enclosures with power
supplies that could accomodate multiple cards. The largest was the
ES-2000C which could hold 12 cards and included an RC-2000 controller on the
front panel of the 4U rack-mount.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Whichever version you have, these are very different TBC's
from models which were designed to work with quad machines or even 1"
machines. They were intended for heterodyne VTR's such as U-Matic or
VHS. My experience with DPS has been very good and while I do not have any
of the personal series, I suspect that you will find that they work fairly well
for their intended purpose.</FONT></DIV>
