Capture was introduced to the american market in September 1985 with an update to Capture II between mid 1987 and December 1987. Capture was produced by Jason Ranheim Company and widely distributed as Capture Archival Cartridge System due to its extra support for creating ready to eprom program output for the promenade C1 eprom burner. The hardware base for the cartridge never changed and the 1.0 software was upgradable to 1.1 and 2.0 (or II) by replacing the eprom (offered by Jason Ranheim Company as well).
Capture came with 8kb of ROM as well as 8kb of RAM and was second on the market of commercial freezing cartridges. Its software is simple but well done and due to its limited space uses up the eprom pretty well. What people will usually regard as lack of features makes Capture somewhat special since it should be extremely hard to detect by normal software.
Memory dumps created by Capture are really what the name says - memory dumps with information on registers and program counter added. The description of the resulting file contents is very well documented on the manual and easily allows later modification on the frozen program. Apart from this Capture does really nothing but fill the memory and dump it in restartable form to disk, tape or "cartrige".
Capture CRT ID: 34
todo: add pics, manual, roms, screenshots, etc.
Trivia
The promenade C1 eprom system is mentioned on US patent #xxxxxxxxxxxxx (look me up)
