<DIV>Hi George:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There were some later versions of the ACE that were PC based.
However, the original ACE used an LSI-11/23 which was a single board
implementation of the PDP11/23 processor, so the whole thing fit into a
small rack-mount box. This was more than a decade after CMX first used the
PDP-11/05, so the computer technology had advanced a bit along with the
VTR's!</DIV>

<DIV>One thing caught my eye, you mentioned the Ampex "Ace" editor as being a
PDP11 powered. I never saw one of them, the only Ampex "Ace" editor I
came in contact with was at NSA and I remember it as a Dos based "Box" of some
sort. I only used it breifly and that was the only time I ever edited
anything. It was hooked up to a few BVW-75's.</DIV>
