The 8 frame assembly recording works really well; even the audio is cut lickety-split. I have the service manual and have been dicking with the serial control bus to the point where I think there is a strategy for *SINGLE* frame assembly recording: The 8-frame recording seems well embedded into the machine control CPU and I have no idea why 8 frames was chosen over 1. (Is there some technical reason?). There seems to be enough smarts to make the deck index to a frame point. This is used in the "record review" mode. By backing the deck over seven of the eight recorded frames and dropping in; clean single-frame assembly edits should be possible. More the moment it works...! Shep Siegel Datacube Inc.
