Pardon the blanket coverage, but, hey, I answer a lot of questions and don't ask very many. My boss just dumped this "need it yesterday" grant proposal estimate on me, so I'd appreciate any quick responses from those of you who may have this stuff on the top of your head: 1) Is a Sun 4/330 the cheapest SPARC I can get with an empty VME slot? 2) Do you know of any image processors that will plug into the S-bus, or SCSI-bus? This would enable me to spec a much-cheaper SS1+ as the host workstation. 3) Does an S-bus <-> VME-bus translator exist? (Is this even reasonable?) My current system is a very nice, very affordable Imaging Technology ITI151 image processor plugged into a Sun 4/110. I would duplicate it, however, you can't get a 4/110 these days. Please respond via e-mail, as I DO read these groups and I WILL summarize. (Doesn't it burn you when these leaches who don't contribute drop in to pick our brains? :-) pvo@oce.orst.edu
