I am the System Administrator for the Center for Man-Machine Systems Research
at Georgia Tech. We are thinking of purchasing a graphics processor for our
flight simulator. So far I have looked at the IRIS 2000, Chromatics CX1280,
Sun III, and Lexidata 90.
We have a VAX 11/780 running BRL UNIX (4.2 BSD) as our host and two Conrac 7211
13 inch monitors for cockpit avionics (we are not simulating the view). For our
purpose, the Sun seemed like overkill since it is a full computer. We really
need something that can be programmed mostly from the VAX with the graphics
processor handling transformations.
If you have any suggestions on other products or comments on the ones I've seen,
I would appreciate the advise. If someone else has compiled a comparison of
graphics devices, pleae let me know.
Thanks
