       | likely that a machine capable of ITTS output was in the pipeline,
       | perhaps even on the verge of going into production, but was
       | canned due to soft sales of the DCC format. If DCC had come out a

       | was quite capable, even though it was always destined to be a
       | transitional medium.

         | some of that art is directly lifted from those releases.
