I found that site I was telling you about, the one with info on various Nubus video capture cards. Here it is. It's interesting to note how expensive various hardware was back when this was first put up (1994). You may be able to find the card you have on there!

Thanks for the link, comrade. It's interesting site. Unfortunately it only mentions a card from Radius and one from SuperMac. [:-(]

And for those people who are terribly confused:
I recently got a original Macintosh II. When I opened it up, I realized that it had 2 cards connected to each other. One was an 8bit SuperMac video card and the other was a "VideoLogic DVA-4000/Macintosh". They were connected with some sort of ribbon cable. The VideoLogic card had a VGA port and a port for a breakout box (presumably for S-Video and/or Composite input). The only problem is, I don't have that breakout box and I could find very little information about the card on the web (there wasn't any data relating to the card on the II either!)

If anybody knows of an online store (that does phone ordering) that has the card w/ breakout box or websites that have information regarding the card/breakout box, i would be very appreciative.

(thanks again, cinemafia for that site)

Yeah, the one I have in my IIfx is the SuperMac DigitalFilm, which is missing the breakoutbox (like FireWire's) and thus is useless. I was a little disappointed to read on that site that it only achieves 30 fps @ 640x480 through pixel doubling, though. That sucks. Oh well, I paid all of $5 for it.

You've checked eBay, I assume?

The only thing i've seen on sale on ebay is the card sans breakout box
