Not sure if I am the only one interested in old video capture gear on the
list. Anyway I won some old Optibase ISA video capture cards on ebay
(MPG-4000 and PC Motion 1993 vintage I believe) and was wondering if anybody
has any information on them and maybe drivers. I emailed the company a few
days ago and no word yet (doesn't look like they support anything that old
anymore). They seem to be MPEG1 boards and one card has dual DSP's with
heatsinks and fans (have not received them yet).
If anybody else is into vintage analog video capture let me know, I mostly
deal with PC and 68K Macs (10 years old or older to be ontopic).

I've got a PS/2 Ultimedia 77 with an Actionmedia video capture card hooked up
to a gooseneck composite colour camera all running under OS/2. The primary
limitation is available video resolutions and the funky format of the saved
video files but it's pretty cool to capture live video on a 66mhz 486 with 32meg
of memory.
