back to that question. I currently have a 353 camera (from Sebastian), a 
fully working development setup and latest firmware from CVS.

I notice "PF_HEIGHT" ist still part of the settings (in parsedit.php) 
and - at least - comments of the FPGA source indicate the photofinish 
stuff is still in there.
still I wonder how I could put this pieces together?

as far as I think, the driver (what actually is the driver in terms of 
source code/files?) should handle that information (PF_HEIGHT) to the 
fpa and programm FPGA ans sensor into linescan-mode. Then fpga aquires 
image in linescanmode and delivers it back to the chain/buffers as 
normally (if not architecture changes described here[*] make more 
changes necessary). so how would I do that?
  or am I completely wrong here?

any hints appreciated
best,
m,-
