We are looking for a very flexible, high quality image acquisition
board for acquiring analog images from medical imaging devices.
Our requirements are as follows:
- VME or AT bus.
- Must be software programmable (i.e. not just strappable) for a wide
variety of more-or-less RS-170 formats.
- Must support programmable pixel clock rate to at least 12.5 MHz,
and if possible accept an external pixel clock.
- Must support all the usual liberties that are taken with 
the RS-170 spec.

Image quality is critical, since we eventually print the images
on high resolution film. Even minor video incompatibilities can cause
trouble for us.  Standard off-the-shelf boards do not do the job.
We know about the Datacube MAX-SCAN.  What other products should
we be looking at?
