Hello, all--

       We have an old (3-to-5 year) Polaroid FreezeFrame video image
recorder, which we would like to use for 35mm slide production from a
Mac IIcx source (8-bit card, 13" high-res Apple monitor).  Polaroid has told
us that the device cannot be used with a Mac, because the sweep frequencies
don't match (the FreezeFrame was designed for IBM PCs).  Does anyone know of
a way around this incompatability, either through third-party hardware or
software, or modification of existing hardware?

       The recorder can produce 35mm slides or poloroid film; it has an
NTSC signal input, which leads me to believe that a Mac-to-NTSC signal
converter (on a card, or in an external box) could do the trick.  It also
has an RGB RS-170 analog signal input, and an RGB TTL input (for the PC).

       If you have any experience with the Polaroid in question, or similar
equipment, we'd really appreciate any help you can give us.  E-mail or post
replies, whichever is convenient.

                                                Derek L.
