Specifically, I'm interested in learning what boards are available (e.g. Matrox, Datacube, ITI, etc.), availability of device drivers, what people already have experience with, and so on. The application is capturing medium resolution (approx. 512 x 512) full- color (24 bit) images of histological samples (i.e. photomicroscopy), which will then be cropped and color-compressed to 512 x 384 x 6-8 planes. I'm also curious as to what color compression algorithms and methods exist to squeeze down a 24 bit color image to 6 or 8 planes.

All the 2D and 3D viewing transformations are provided, but there are no retained segments, no input primitives, and only string-precision text. I have recently contributed the source code for the graphics package, along with two programs I have written using it, to the info-ibmpc library.
