- In the past manufacturers have used the expansion bus, the paralell port,
- and PCMIA ports for video digitizers. They have continuely overlooked the
- obvious... THE SCSI PORT. It would be a platform independant video input
- method, transportable, and scalable. You could get a much higher number
- of frames per second because a classic SCSI has a burst thruput of
- 10MB/sec. and I don't know how fast the SCSI-II or SCSI-Fast will go. In
- addition if you have a controller that will do syncronous access you
- could spool your video directly to your hard drive.
-
- I don't know if anyone has this idea on the drawing board but the
- methodology has already been proven with SCSI flatbed scanners and now
- the new HiSoft SCSI MPEG signal converter. Mark my words, unless this
- idea is intentionally overlooked it's comin !!!!
