Once again, here's a news flash from "Down Under". I have no affiliation with
Neriki, I just thought I let you know what's going on here.
(My last report prompted one request from a math student from San Diego)
quoted from "The Age" (Melbourne), 13-Oct-1987
Desktop computer makes color prints
A desktop computer can produce slides or
high-resolution prints in more than 4000 colors thanks to an
Australian-developed interface between Commodore Amiga
microcomputers and the Polaroid Palette computer-image
recorder.
The Sydney-based computer and television company Neriki
Australia developed the package with the help of Polaroid
Australia. The Australian company plans to sell the package
in Australia and overseas and has formed a new company,
Neriki Computer Graphics, for marketing and exporting the
Australian Neriki-Amiga Polaroid Palette software system.
The software system comprises a keyboard- or
mouse-operated graphics package and a cable adapter. The
system allows the Palette to record images generated by all
Amiga models.
Neriki will sell the whole system for $5596 [Aus] plus
tax. It comprises an Amiga personal computer, a Palette
image recorder, hardware interface, adapters for 35mm and
Polaroid 0.5 by 4.5 inch color print and overhead slide
films, software, cables and connections.
[There was also a picture, 15x11.5 cm (that's 6"x4.6"), showing an A2000 plus
the Neriki/Polaroid hardware.]

Liquid Light has been selling "Imprint", the interface to the
Polaroid Palette since last December. Our interface works on
all Amiga machines (A500, A1000, A/B2000) and in both NTSC and PAL.
You may read that as "sells internationally" since that we do do.
