Targa Boards

There was a discussion a while ago about digitizing photos
and how it would be neat to use the early technology to do
so. I have the Targa 16 and Targa 24 video capture boards
and figured it was worth a try and am just starting to try
and set them up. The three boards I have are all circa
1985. The Targa 16 supports composite video so I will try
that first. They came with some software called TIPS that
apparently allows this to be done. Only problem is an
unreadable Disk 2. I am going to try and see if a 360K
drive will read it any better. I also have Pizazz Plus that
supports the Targa boards but I don't see support for saving
the files to a standard TIF file. Has anyone used the Targa
boards and and can this be done without having to write
specialized software? Also, has anyone used the TIPS
software? Thanks.
