Hi,

In /sys/i386/conf/LINT, there are three framegrabber board supported
on FreeBSD.

# ctx: Cortex-I frame grabber
# spigot: The Creative Labs Video Spigot video-acquisition board
# meteor: Matrox Meteor video capture board

In addition, VIC supports spigot and meteor. I do not know much about
ctx. I heard that meteor is good but too expensive. I used spigot for
NV/VIC, but spigot had finished to develop.

Are you interested in IBM Smart Capture Card that is a PCMCIA typeII.
I'm using SCC for VIC. It works fine than spigot.
