A few months ago, I posted a mini-review of my HippoVision Video
Digitizer.  I believe that I have a very early version, with
quite a few bugs and wanted to compare my version with other ones
out on the market.  Nobody has yet replied.  I can't believe that I
am the only one in the world with this bit of hardware.

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to get hold of newer, more
recent software for it for about a year and a half now.  When I first
acquired the digitizer, I contacted HippoVision, they agreed that
mine was a very primitive version, and promised to send me and 
updated one right away.  That was over 15 months ago.  I pestered
them for awhile (PHONE BILLS!!), then decided to give in and wait
for a few months.  Since then I have been unable to get thru to them.
At this point, I would happily settle for the source code to the
program they gave me, and add in whatever mods I feel are needed. 
(At this point, that is just about everything.  There is no GEM
support, everything is menu driven using numbers only, only 2 and 8
grey levels are supported, the resultant image is only200 by
160 pixels, does not capture the full video image (only top right
two thirds).

I feel the hardware is not bad, but the software is miserable.  Has
anybody done any work in this direction??  Does anybody know how
to link in with the cartridge??  I understand all the basic concepts,
but without concrete knowledge, I have very little desire to jump
into this task.

HELP.  I welcome all comments, suggestions etc.
