Some friends of mine working for another company doing video stuff got
interested in the Toshiba digital freeze frame video machines, bought one
and ripped it open...

As far as I remember (this is about a year ago), all the video freeze frame
stuff is on a small PC board that is an add-on to the basic video machine.
The board contains a big controller chip, some standard ram, and misc.
tiddlers.  Toshiba were not willing to part with any information about the
controller chip (i.e. a data-sheet), or indeed sell it without a video
machine.  However it should be possible to buy the board as a 'spare'.

Cheers,

Harry
