One of the computer labs here has a number of (currently) unused Prime Medusa
solid modeling stations. These appear to be a combination of a Lexidata Frame
buffer, Sumagraphics Digitizer (a big one), and a terminal. Each device appears
to use a seperate serial interface.
Does anyone out there happen to be familiar with the Prime Medusa or Lexidata
frame buffers that could help me identify the devices so I can get them hooked
up to Unix? I intend to eventually call Lexidata for manuals and information
but I would like to try and find the model number, name and type of device
first.
At the moment the only thing I know is the display is 1024x1024 (approximately)
with 8 bits of data per pixel. It has a serial interface and appears to have
the option for some type of bus interface as there are several large connecters
on the back. If you are familiar with Lexidata equipment please write me and
we will see if we can identify the thing.
