(This is my first real posting -- mistake correction solicited) I have a student work job in our art department, helping set up a new computer graphics lab. We have six amigas, a mac II, and a couple of printers. The local amiga dealer supplied us with something rather neat: The six amigas are each equiped with a Cltd SCSI controler. There is also a stand-alone 60-meg SCSI hard drive. The seven of them are cabled together. This is set up essentially as a fileserver. Each machine has read-only access to the drive, and the files thereon. This set up is rounded out with (currently), a Digi-View digitizer, a HP-paintjet, and (off in their own world), a Mac II and Laserwriter II NT. Starting next semester, this will be used as a computer graphics lab for art students, particularly for annimation and CAD. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else has, or has heard of, a set up like this? How does it work for you? What do you use it for? Also, has anyone run across really good methods of controling postscript laser printers like the Laserwriter II NT? What about connecting the amigas to the appletalk network? I saw that Columbia (???) U. has connected their VAXes to appletalk . . . -eric hopp Eric Hopp, otherwise known as (I think) hopp@thor.stolaf.edu Dec 13 1988
