My research group has a Dunn Camera which until recently we
depended upon to make high-quality graphics hardcopies of
various Voyager 2 spacecraft images and assorted other goodies.
It was interfaced to an AED 1280 frame buffer, which went on
the blink about a year ago. The repair people who fixed the AED
put in some nonstandard chip to fix it, and we had to have Dunn
somebody out to reconfigure the camera.
Well, since then, the AED has died; we now have an IVAS and a
Graphicon and a new AED; but the Dunn won't talk to ANY of them.
The real problem is this: Dunn Instruments no longer exists.
Apparently they've been bought by a company I have only heard
referred to as "Matrix." This not being a cyberpunk novel, I was
wondering if anybody out there can help me find these guys, or ANYBODY
qualified to work on our Dunn camera?
In a related vein, does anyone know where to purchase a little
black box which will enable our Dunn (once properly configured)
to talk to all three of our Graphics devices?
(please e-mail responses, as the sheer volume on this newgroup
is a significant impediment to my ever finding a reply article)
