I just purchased the Video Digitizer from DAK ($169.00.)  It is a
256x256 64-grey level frame grabber.  It comes with 3 programs to
allow you to display images from your camera (or VTR,) make a slide-show
of pictures, and a paint-like program.

None of the software packages let you get the full 256X256 grey-level
image, they all do dithering and reduce the effective resolution.  I
am trying to dis-assemble one of the programs to figure out how to
read from the card myself, but it's fairly difficult and time-consuming.

Does anyone else have one of these systems?  If so, I'd like to share
information with them.  I have figured out a great deal about the card
(both from program disassembly and examination of the hardware.)  Please
get ahold of me.  Anyone who helps out will be entitled to all the software
I get finished.
