Most of my gear is Mac based: Radius Videovision PCI Telecast, Media 100 (Nubus), Radius Spigot Pro AV (for the 840AV), the original Supermac Video Spigot (Nubus). I also have an older Matrox Rainbow Runner for my Matrox Mystique and a Winnov ISA capture/video conferencing card. Hopefully I can find drivers for the Optibase cards (the cards should be here Monday), they seem to be state of the art for their time period and platform. It seems very hard to find early PC capture cards of the Windows 3.1 era or before (does anything exist for OS/2?) which is probably why I took up the challenge of looking. www.archive.org has the computer chronicles video archives and I seen some interesting footage of hardware I never heard of before, finding information online is difficult at best. Sooner or later I will start looking for an old Avid Nubus setup, and try to add a Supermac Digital Film to the collection. An Amiga Toaster/Flyer setup would be nice to have, but the flyer add-on must be made of gold since the ebay prices for it are a bit excessive. My old Mac magazines have some information of what was available for that platform, but I have seen very little in my PC magazines on video capture (outside of an ad for the creative movie blaster).
