- I have a Computer Eyes/Pro board that I connected to a VHS camcorder.
- It works pretty well as a STILL image digitizer, but taking pictures of
- anything moving more than a rock will produce a blurred image. But
- I did manage to get a few nice images of my keyboard (what I wanted),
- only having to play with the lighting and focus on the camera.

- Hope this helps.
