I'm planning on getting the following devices for a IIfx, and would greatly appreciate info from anyone who has used one (or a competing brand): (1) Matrix Procolor (or maybe Slidewriter) Film Recorder (for making 35mm slides) A big problem here is the lack of PostScript. One dealer suggested a standalone RIP (Postscript interpreter), but that was way too expensive --- $15,000. 3rd party software interpreters (eg Freedom of the Press) seem rather klugy to use. Are any <$10,000 Postscript slide makers coming out? Now that you can get a Postscript color printer for $7,000 it seems not unreasonable. (2) Proxima Data Display (LCD panel that is used with an overhead projector). I`m looking for a COLOR high quality unit. Any experience here??? Or even pointers to reviews??? (3) Fujitsu hard disks from Mac!Direct!: 680 MB External for <$2000, with a 5 year factory warranty. Lots of folks sell the 600 MB Seagate Wrens at that price, but that has only a 1 year warranty. For that matter: is there a difference between a "Wren" and a "MacWren"? I suspect that there is something different about the SCSI controller.
