Sorry Bob, but they're not.  We only implemented what we needed which were
bare minimums.  The reason for my initial post was to get an idea of what
people wanted in a "real" product and to guage how much interest there was.
It seems that the interest level is high for a frame grabber of 24 bit
quality.  All I have to do now is get some of the important features added
to the board like overscan support.

Thanks to everyone who has sent me suggestions for features.  The more
comments and yes votes I get, the faster I can get a product to market.  My
company is still a bit timid about releasing to an "unknown market", so keep
those electronic cards and letters coming! ;-)
