        Hi, Sam:
      
  In 1983 Sony Video Products Catalog listed a SMC70 microcomputer, and
again in 1986 Japan Video Centre (Toronto) listed a SMC70G "Genlocker"
which was supposed to make a good character generator for video production.
I remember going to see one, but didn't bite because they wanted about six
grand for it, and that is a bit much, even in Canada.
