Well, the time has come to hack some video.  What is the current state of
affairs when it comes to Amiga video digitizers: (dumb questions, I suppose)

	1. Who has color NTSC (or better) digitizers?

	2. Who has realtime digitizers?  Can they dump in realtime to
	   a workbench window (I presume not)?

	3. Does anyone make a combo frame buffer + digitizer board?

	4. Can someone explain the "Toaster" and whether it exists? 

	5. Who makes deep pixel frame buffers (eg 24 bits or more) frame
	   buffers for the Amiga?

	6. What is a good color camera to use?  Would prefer one of those
	   small CCD units over a camcorder type setup (have one already).

Advance thanks --
