Pinnacle makes Motion JPEG cards for the PC, but they have waaaay too much
ego from dealing with the TV market. They make a $150 W98-supported card
(thier driver) and makes no bones about saying that if you want to run it
under NT, buy the card the next model up.

I honestly think your best bet would be an Indy with the video capture
card in it. You can probably find one for $150.
