Since I already have a VCR, and I do not have a regular cassett type tape drive, I would like to use the VCR. Is there any commercially available hardware/software to do this. I am buying a data translation 2851 frame grabber/image processor, so I figure I could use this to read and write the data. But if this has been worked out before, I rather spend money than time.... -- Chris Kushmerick kushmer@bnlux0.bnl.gov kushmerick@pofvax.sunysb.edu
