OK all you Raspberry Pi tinkers , inventors and ne'er do wells ;) Years ago a company was developing a digital cartridge to use in Super 8 cameras. It was estimated prices was expensive and I don't think it ever saw the light of day alas. It would be fabulous to see a Raspberry Pi version, even if it mean mounting the main board externally on the Super 8 camera and just run the ribbon cable into the Super 8 camera and mount by the film gate. There's millions of these cameras in folks basements, attics, garages, storage units etc it would be wonderful to inexpensively give them new life. Couple of folks did this, great idea but not a drop in solution.
I know there's a lot of brain power in the Raspberry Pi community. Hell it could be a great kickstarter. I'd buy a Raspberry Pi Super 8 cartridge for my cameras for $100......
