Indeedy .... I ought to say that I started my VT career in 1980 on Quad 
at the BBC, so whilst all of your kind assistance is appreciated, I'm 
pretty much aware of what I need to find and do. I merely wanted to tell 
people who might understand what I was talking about, about my good 
fortune - the current generation of kit that I'm supporting is XDCAM, 
most of the people that I'm dealing with have never worked with anything 
older than half inch cassettes, so my ACR-25 cassette on my desk puts me 
back in the dark ages as far as they're concerned
