[ Y'know, these things aren't necessary anymore. ]

I am looking for specific recommendations of video digitizers.  Our
applications include digitizing of simple photographs, text (to be 
eventually converted to ascii), schematics and possibly real landscapes.

I am as yet undecided on color/b&w or levels of gray needed.

The price range should be < $15K.  I am not looking for a professional 
system. 

The device will probably be attached to a Sun3/*, so a serial or scsi
interface is a necessity.

If you have had any experience with, or know of any companies 
(and phone numbers :-)) that sell this sort of equipment, RSVP.

						Thanks.  --ed
