I'm trying to put together a low cost image processing system
and am looking at the Amiga, Mac, and IBM PC. I need a color
frame grabber with the following specs:

1. Can input RGB and NTSC video (a jack for each)
2. Can output the same
3. At least 512 x 512 x 9 (3 bits per primary) resolution
   [The machine must support a display with this capability, of
    course].
4. Does not need to be real time 

I'm partial to MC68000 or 020 machines because I have designed 
with those CPUs, but it appears that the IBM PC wins hands down
in terms of product offerings.

Any comments?

Ken
