When we held Megafest, our local computer show, there were a couple of
non-Apple digitizing frame-grabbers.  They were hooked up to a video source
and used a key or mouse button to trigger the grab.  The interesting thing
was that the boxes (allegedly $200 or so) were accessed through the serial
port (or so they said).  If this is true, maybe we can write a driver for
them!

Will look into it,
