You'd need to write a driver for GS/OS.  It should be possible if someone
was willing to program it.

Does the camera also have composite output (that is, can you just plug
it into a VCR and display pictures on your television)?  If so, then you
just need a Visionary (or Vision Plus or Vision Plus Enhanced) card to
capture pictures from the camera and display them using 3200 color
mode.
