Would this combination pose any problems ? If money isn't the point the VD2001 from Merkens EDV (Germany) seems to be the best 24 bit realtime digitizer/framebuffer available now. Note: realtime means REALTIME (eg. 25 pcitures digitized per second, not one in 1/25th of a second) it costs about 5000 DM in the overscan-version. BTW: As far as I know, the Lowell-Board is 8 bit, not 24!
