At 496x350, the Logitech FotoMan Plus isn't quite what you're after, but
it does have 256 levels of gray, jpeg file output, and a simple serial
port interface.

I have one attached to my UnixWare PC and am taking and downloading
a picture every hour as I watch a plant grow.  The source code is
pretty simple and I would be happy to send it to you.
