How I love those cheap offers... Just bought myself a MacVision
video-digitizer for the Mac and decided to capture some of
my favorite video images (myself being on the top of the
list ;).

I figured I might run into some trouble, as the MacVision was
designed for the 'skinny' Mac, relying on a DB-9 connector, providing
the device with 9 and 12 V. power. But this was only a temporary problem
as I made my own power adapter (and DB-9 to Din-8 connector).

Eureka, it worked! That is to say: the picture came on screen, but any
attempt to move my mouse, touch a key (like the manual suggested) resulted
in a formidable system-hangup. MacVision doesn't agree with
ADB style user input (or so it seems).

Does any1 out there have a more recent than 1.0 version of MacVision?
Please E-mail it to me (pretty please?). Is there any patch? Would
be much appreciated, since I plan to use digitized images for the
_main_ computer exhibition in Holland (oh well, Holland... ;)

BTW: Bill Atkinson is the man who wrote the MacVision software. He must
have plenty of time now HyperCard is finished.. he might update
his MacVision software :-))
