I am aware of one other board - just released for the Amiga.  I've got
information and prices on it.

Could *anyone* with any information, reviews, or prices on any JPEG/MPEG video
(+audio?) boards that you can develop software for, for an IBM/PC email to me
the info?  I'm looking for a board that has a combo of framegrabber + at or
near real-time JPEG (de)compression that can write info to either disk or 
memory.  Thanx in advance.
