New Image Technology (301-464-3100) will sell you the chips to do this
for $64.  This is not a product they normally market - they are doing
this as a "convenience to their customers".  If you're not already a
customer, I guess buying the chips from them makes you a customer :-)
If the receptionist doesn't know what you are asking for, you may need
to talk to Mike.  (You can tell them I sent you.)

Disclaimer: I do freelance software development work for New Image Technology,
but I don't make any money if you buy video rams from them.  (Buy a scanner
instead! :-) )
