I know someone that is about to spend $20,000 on a IBM with custom boards. They want to capture revolving auto parts via video camera and store them on disk. They want to capture a full revolution of the part, and be able to play it back on the computer by entering the part# into a database. They also plan on printing a parts catalog from the data captured. I figure a AMIGA 2500 with a 300meg drive – flickerfixer – and a highend monitor can beat the IBM. What hardware/software would you recommend for the capture of the data? Is there a package that would play back the data, maybe interfaced via AREXX/SuperBase Pro? I can handle the Postscript printing end of the project.
