Re: RFLP Video-imaging Setup and Use

We have ordered:
        MacIntosh FX computer 
                16 Mb RAM
                160 Mb Hard Drive
        Optical Drive for Mass Storage
        19" Sony Trinitron Monitor
        JVC TKH70 Still Image Video Camera
        RasterOps 24XLTV Quick Capture Card

Our purpose is to capture, store and transmit RFLP radiographs
for analysis here and in other labs working, in particular, on
Maize Genome Mapping and Genetic Analysis (but not restricted to
maize knowledge only).

Looking for suggestions and experiences using this equipment and
similar in electrophoretic gel analysis.

Hints and kinks welcome!

Data storage, retrival, compression and transmission wisdom.

FTP sites with FAQs, appropriate software, etc.

And anything else I forgot to mention that you think it is worth 
knowing about.
