Ring any bells with anyone? I've got a 1985 brochure from a company called 
"Soft Option" about such a device (apparently originally developed by the 
Polytechnic of Central London) amongst my Domesday stuff.

Seems like they marketed this system, based around a Master 128 with genlock 
and VCR controller (U-matic, Beta, and VHS), along with an equivalent 
Laserdisc system (using Philips 400 / 800 series units or a Sony model), for 
the purpose of producing interactive video titles...

cheers
