Re: [Avid-L2] Re: External Drive for media w/ MacBook Pro

 

The IIci also shipped with the Panasonic Optical drives.
It makes me laugh when people complain about render times.
In those days, render times where counted in hours not minutes.

I think that served as the boot/media drive as well, didn't it?  The later Mac
IIci had its own internal HD (80mb I recall) and by that time the 1GB 3200rpm
Imprimis Avid drives were out and all the way down to $3800.

That IIci had a 25Mhz processor and shipped from Avid with a whopping 8MB of
RAM.

And Color!! w00t!!1!!!
