OK then. From what I can see on the scope and the image data the PIC
returned, it looks like the CCD is discharging before the PIC gets a chance
to read it back. I bet this is down to reading two lines of image data, then
blasting them down the RS232 link, then grabbing more. Unfortunately the
entire image will take around 16k bytes, which is a fair bit more than the
1536 bytes of RAM the PIC has. It also seems the PIC doesn't have enough I/O
lines to address a 16kbyte RAM, well, not with the camera connected anyway.

Some days you just can't win. :-/
