1990 DAMS 420

This is the year we came out with our large TV-500 console which was our foray into the large-scale television broadcast area. We also came out with this digital audio workstation that really wasn’t quite so good. It was called DAMS - “Digital Audio Music System” - an early hard disc audio playback system using Dolby compression. We paid $1,798 each for our 286M SCSI hard drives. They had 1/100 the capacity of a typical thumb drive you can buy today for under $10. The Dolby stereo codec cost $6,000. Needless to say the project was too early to be practical.
