The Video Toaster Flyer is very flexible and you can use almost any size SCSI drive with it. You must have an Amiga 2000/3000 or 4000 in order to use it though but the 4000 gives you extra capabilities that you dont get with the other two.

Sitting just to the left of my A1 is a Randomize Genesis Flyer. This is a 1200 sitting in an RBM Towerhawk tower with the Onboard 1200 T/F Zorro II busboard, a KeyOn 1200 keyboard adapter, and a VidiOn video slot adapter. It allows all the T/F features that the 4000 does. It works quite nicely, even if it is a kludge.
As to the original question, most modern PCs don't need non-linear hardware. They are fast enough to do video editing totally in software. All you need is decent software, and the right interface to get the video into the computer. I use (admittedly low-end) Pinnacle Studio on an Athlon 64 3700+ (San Diego) with only 1 MB RAM. Definitely not a high-end machine. A Core 2 Duo would kick this thing to the curb.
