Hi.

     I have been thinking about a project for a inexpensive digitizer for
the amiga.  What I hope to do is put together a small CCD imager.  The
reason I am posting this is to see if ther is any interest in a kit for
under $100.  If there is enough interest I will try to get the thing
published in Amazing or Transactor, and make available circuit board,
parts, and some software.  Like the Lucas Project.

     Some specs:
     Resolution - 192H x 165V
                 8 bits of grey (color is too expensive)
     Interface - Serial Port

     It of course will not be a realtime digitizer or be as easy to use as
Digiview, but with some care it should be able to digitize overscan HAM images.
Of course I welcome any comments and suggestions.  I probably won't even have
a working prototype for a couple of months, but for now I am just seeing if
there is any interest in a CHEAP digitizer.

					David.
