A large supermarket chain has donated a lot
of PC based display equipment to Pitt, and we
got our share, but as usual NO MANUALS.
Could someone tell me more about the following:
Sony LDP 2000 (laser disk player)
IBM Display 8575154
Both pieces of equipment come with RS 232 ports
and IEEE 488 ports. They were supposedly used
in kiosks in the stores. Supposedly display was
touch sensitive, and, under a customer's control,
would display information ("how to serve seafood",
"how to cut beef", etc) to the customer.
Could these be used with a PC/AT? Do I need an
interface board for the PC? Software?
thanks
