Umm... Sarah uses the Casablanca AVIOs at work and they are 233 
pentium mmxes w/ a single DIMM and LOTS of dedicated, custom hardware 
for video I/O.  The AVIO is ATA66, this SEEMS to be scsi, not sure 
how fast.  OS for these comes on smart media (This unit seems to use 
floppies).  The HDD is for both A/V storage AND swap space so if you 
fill the disk it will "clog" the editor.  All in all I'd *MUCH* 
rather use IMOVIE as it is actually truely nonlinear.  Its more 
limiting than useful and you'll outgrow it quickly.
