Subject: video to digital

[This must be the line eater]

This is my first request on the net, so please be easy on me.

I am a novice (very novice) graphics person. I hope I ask this in the 
right words.  I am looking for a cheap way (buying or building) to
take a picture (frame) from a video camera and to put it on my 
computer. This means to take the video and convert it to digital
and to have a program convert it to match my graphics screen.

I have a CP/M-MSDOS computer ( not IBM compatable) with 640/400
pixel resolution with 8 colors(no grey scale). I know that there
are many boards out there for S100/IBM busses. What I would
probably need is a system that hooks up by RS232. Or I could
build my own adapter, which will probably not be easy.

I would appreciate any information that any one could send me
on how to do this or companies that I could get information from.

Thanks in advance.
