Try contacting Coreco in Quebec.  Ask about the Oculus TCX color
frame grabber.  It costs in the neighborhood of $2500.  You can
also contact Matrox, but I 'think' their offerings were a bit
more pricey (but include more on-board functionality).

: Does anyone know of such a board?  Thanks in advance.
