Collins, CO Lines: 27 My earlier comment about video running in windows brought up questions about other PC hardware. Currently, we are experimenting with a new product from New Media Graphics that adds NTSC/PAL video real-time digitizing and overlay with a standard VGA system. THe Digitized video can be "manipulated" in size and display quadrant, along with some other special effects. This seems to be the most "advanced" product of it's type. The card has an on-board 80186 processor along with a megapixel of video capture memory. (Thats from memory, and not exact, but you get the picture). The prices seem reasonable, and are in the same range as EGA/CGA overlay systems. I would expect new software that adds windowing functions to be available in the future. The on-board processor should help support repainting and resizing windows. There is not a PS/2 Microchannel version that I know of, but maybe soon. The company is at: 780 Boston Road Bilerica, MA 01821-5925 (617 663-0666 As usual, the std disclaimer.
