    This looks expensive as hell. Pretty sure it’s for TV editing DVC which I think means it could have been used internationally even in the 2010s. Love the full-size mechanical keys and the dual Zip drives. What a beast.

        You’re right, DVC would make more sense.

        Edit: yeah I’m not sure a zip disk could even fit in that enclosure lol

          Zips were also waaaay too slow to edit video on. So there’d be no need to have 2.

      They can be had on eBay for around $500, though there are some cheaper ones if anyone would like to cannibalize one to make a Johnny Mnemonic-style cyberdeck.
