I remember such a thing from when I worked in broadcasting, must have

been late 80s. We even had a setup with two Bmax VCRs controlled by an

Apple II that allowed to do simple assembly editing. It was an horrible

thing to use. Edits would fail regularly. If you were lucky you could

retry them, but quite often the already assembled part would be damaged

at the edit point, forcing you to go back. It was used for a year or so,

until something better (the first hard disk based systems) became available.
