Why didnt you get a 2500UX which has UNIX on it???
but you should be ok, the hardware is the same.

The easiest way to get them IN is the Progresive Peripherials FRAME GRABBER.
(approx $500) -- digitizes IN HAM MODE 320x400 video. Real time. And can
also operate on still video, or in the three color "Digi-view" mode.

Online!

The amiga is like the (gasp choke chuckle) mac. The SYSTEM contains a device
that handles all of that stuff for the program.
