[net.wanted] Small Image Processing Computers.

byrne@yale-comix.UUCP (Crenshaw Studebaker) (05/11/84)

    I am developing an image processing system for a biological
application, and need some help on purchasing a computer and camera for
it.  Currently, I am using an EYECOM III to get 640 by 512 10 bit
images, and am borrowing an Apollo DN300 with 1 megabyte RAM and color
monitor for processing and display.  The Apollo is 68000 based and seems
fast enough, but I need more memory to avoid thrashing.  The code is in
C, and requires no special hardware.

    Does anyone know of an integrated system with 2 megabytes RAM, a
hard disk, a color monitor of approximately 100 pixels per inch, and a
black and white camera of similar spatial resolution with 256 grey
levels?  A UN*X based operating system, or at least a good C compiler, is
a necessity.

    Vendors are encouraged to reply to this by US mail (include all
those glossy brochures, please), and personal testimony is welcomed via
USENET mail.

                          Thank you,
