USB interface to CCD Chip?

Is there a chip or circuit design or something which would allow me to connect a USB interface to a linear CCD chip.

Yes, I'm still trying to work out the best way to build a cheap (non astronomical) spectroscope...

Why not just use a difraction grating and a web cam? All the interfacing and hard parts are done for you.

Yes, I think you have a good point there, thanks.

You could use a flatbed scanner too. These calibrate at start and end of scan against black and white strips; this would likely need to be emulated.

Thanks for the idea, but a scanner is too big for my application.
