Two requests for information: 1) We are set to equip an imaging lab with Sun workstations and would appreciate any comments about others' experiences (interface, performance, cost, problems) or suggestions. The equipment will include: a) Camera, analog or digital output. We will also need a frame grabber if we get analog (video) output. b) Hardcopy, probably both a film recorder and printer. Tenatively, we are leaning toward a color dye sublimation printer, but are not very knowledgable about the many imaging printer technologies. We must have 256 gray levels and would like 16.7M colors. 2) Matrix sells film writers for MACs with SCSI interface. They provide a driver for the MAC, but not for other systems. Has anyone else written a SCSI driver for Matrix cameras that they could provide us? If not, would writing one be difficult for a non-systems person? I will provide a summary of the responses to anyone who requests one. Stephen E. Reichenbach email: reich@fergvax.unl.edu
