Hello All,
 
We've been using the RO 364 and are particularly impressed with the developer
support that is available (if you are lucky enough to have access to
AppleLink). We have produced our own HyperCard video capture stack for
recording student photos and are currently working on modifying the "Image"
software (available via ftp from alw.nih.gov) to allow analysis of video images
from an optical microscope.

That is 30 frames per second video display. Not to be confused with capture
rate, which is of course dependent on cpu speed, memory available and image
size.
