I am desperately in need of information on the interface for this camera. If anyone has the file, could they please mail or otherwise convey it to me? The original file was posted by Jan Mark Nowrolski on someplace called NETSCI.Electron, with the following header: > Tue Jul 17 03:01:49 1990 Message : #743363 From: jmn@cancun.berkeley.edu Group : NETSCI.Electron Length : 2250 words 38044 bytes Subject : PXL 2000 Video Camcorder- here's the info! Read 1 times Msg-ID: <26255@pasteur.Berkeley.EDU> Posted: 16 Jul 90 23:27:35 GMT Org. : U.C. Berekeley -- ERL Person: Jan Mark Noworolski After receiving at least 25 requests for the information I am posting. (flames, comments and questions should be directed to me before tuesday night, after which you'll have to wait a month) I'm sorry I cannot personally acknowledge each request, but I wish you all happy hacking! The following is a description of how to interface the Kiddie Camcorder to an IBM PC bus. If you don't care about IBM Buses it should prove useful for identifying the location of digital signals inside the camera itself. A simple program to display images from the camera on the PC screen is also enclosed. A schematic of the interface is enclosed in 4 formats- orcad, postscript (funny looking- but recognizable), hpgl, and epson. To use this file uudecode it, decompress it, and untar it. (please don't ask me how to uudecode, decompress or untar). (note that the text is in IBM PC format- so UN*X heads may need to filter it to get rid of the ^M's) Cheapo filter: Just read it into jove, or emacs and then save it. > Unfortunately, the rest of the uuencoded, compressed, tarred file managed to self-munge by the time I got to it. My attempts to contact Noworolski at jmn@cancun.berkeley.edu have all bounced. If you have this file or know where I can get a hold of the file, I would really appreciate it. The file should contain, in addition to the header, a number of postscript format schematics and technical docs.
