Apologies to greg - rereading my very own copy/paste there, the guy's betting it's the Mitsubishi. (Also goosman's first guess.) Magic of PRFing from cell phone = (1 / care put into posts). That video makes a stack of VHS ADATs look like a Colecovision. I've left a message at CDC, but I don't expect...
