[ continuation ] 512k of CHIP memory. You can use that, but you may find you can't do all the effects you might want later on. Having your dealer upgrade you to 1 megabyte of CHIP memory would be a good move. Converting a standard 640×480 GIF with hamsharp runs right at your memory limit right now. Most will fit, a few detailled ones won't. 800×600 GIFs, or larger, are too big for your system. You really need a minimum of 3 megabytes, preferably 5 megabytes or more, and one of the image processors if you want to work the images to your satisfaction. You say you have an old b&w camera. Maybe it will work with digi-view, maybe not. Digi-view requies RS-170 monochrome video with 2:1 interlace. Some cameras use 'random sync' as well, and digi-view does not work with random sync. The camera should have internal sync, 2:1 interlace, to work with digi-view. Enough rambling. You probably now have more questions than when I started. 🙂 Bill, K3OZM
