We would like to be able to get digitized monochrome  images into
our VME system  running  OS-9.  The application  is scanning  the
profile  of a laser beam.  We don't need a particularly  fast way
of doing this (the current method is mechanical scanning a single
detector - a few seconds per point with even low resolution takes
forever).   I can get a frame grabber  board for about $3000 from
Data Translation  (with no OS-9 software  support),  but for that
price I could also buy an AT-class  machine  and a frame grabber.
Anyone  know  of a cheaper  alternative,  or a vendor  with  OS-9
support?
