Clone orchard bears fruit
Article Abstract:
Motorola ships the StarMax PowerPC-based system, as Apple's efforts to promote clones begin to show results. The desktop StarMax systems come with a 1.2GB hard drive, 16MB of RAM, 16-bit sound and an eight-speed CD-ROM drive, as well as three PCI slots. The mini-tower systems offer a 2.5GB hard drive and 32MB of RAM. The StarMax family starts at $2,000. Power Computing's PowerTower Pro 225 uses a 225MHz chip, making it the fastest widely available computer. The system is suitable for animation, video and graphics applications. For less demanding applications, Power Computing's PowerCenter 150 comes with a 1GB hard drive, 16MB of RAM, a four-speed CD-ROM, a Level 2 cache card and about $1,200 in software titles. The PowerCenter costs $2,000. The company also ships an 'Office' version of the PowerCenter that comes with 32MB of RAM and Microsoft office. Other companies are also developing clones.

Article Abstract:
Data Translation's Media 100 qx digital video board is an excellent tool for assembling digital video demonstrations for use before a jury or in settlement talks. The board translates video from camcorders into computer files, which users may then combine with animated sequences, still photographs, charts or anatomical exhibits. The board may be used to edit videotapes or make training videos, and users can store the videos in CD-ROM databases. When users assemble a film from different pieces of footage, the board offers instant previews, eliminating the need for rendering, which is the process of assembling video frame by frame. The device works with files from animation and image-editing software as well as scanned images with no compatibility problems. The Media 100 qx costs under $5,000.
