I finally found some video digitizer companies listed in the latest
"Publish" magazines under mail order company ads and a buyer's guide
issue that listed manufacturers.

I called Sigma and found out that the Image-It card has a 
320x200x256 and a 640x480x16 mode.  It's a 8-bit card and is being
discontinued with nothing replacing it.

I called Willow and the guy I talked to must have been new.  He tried
to assure me that they did not have any video digitizers on the market
but would soon.  I saw several listed under mail order ads.

I only found two mail order companies that were knowledgable about
video digitizers.  Both agreed that for the money, Jovian Logic 
products were the best way to go.  They both liked Computer Eyes
products if you are on a budget.  They warned me that they've had
lots of complaints with Willow products, difficult installation, poor
docs, and poor tech. support.  So, I've ordered a Jovian Logic
SuperVIA and will give a report when I get it running.  It supports
640x480x256 and can capture at 1/60th of a sec.  I bought mine from
Laser Press & Graphics at 800-628-4517 (Jeff is who helped me and
was great) for $675.

Everything above is just the opinions of the people that sell the
products, but it's the only advice I could find.
