The #EditDroid worked! It was used on a number of productions and was eventually displaced by the Avid/1 NLE system that had the new, superior approach of digitized video on hard drives vs. laserdiscs. Avid bought the EditDroid system from Droid Works and integrated many of its patents and technologies into their system.

I love this kind of retro computing history. It was a system way ahead of its time, like the Pixar Image Computer, had a short life, and relatively few details exist today.
