 Actually, I think the hardware supports 30 frames/sec but they are having
trouble getting the software to do that.  Of course, I may be wrong but
that is what I understand.
  
  There was a frame grabber for the Apple II that would digitize 256 * 256
with lots o gray scale or color at 60 fps.  I'll see if I can dig up the
article about it.
