Hi!
 
While technically possible, I doubt that You can find a CCD software driver
for this particular configuration. I would suggest that You grab the images
with the software provided with the CCD or framegrabber. Then You can import
the images easily into IMAGE and do whatever You like there. On a pentium
machine, executor is surprisingly fast and supports high resolution MAC work.
Personally, I would prefer to use a native PC software. There are some free
image processing programs on the net, one is OSIRIS from Geneva, which
unexpectedly worked well with my images sequences, generated from CCD and
other camera sources.
Please feel free to contact me directly by E-mail.
