I need some help. I have a LASERGRAPHICS LFR film recorder that I use in my business and I want to use it on my AMIGA also. It runs off the PC serial port using their controller or it runs off of a MAC SCSI port using their software. The question is, is there any way of programming your SCSI port to act as a printer instead of a hard drive? If so can the program be done with reasonable cost. I think I can write a program to convert any IFF pic from the AMIGA to be accepted as a LASERGRAPHICS picture using their programming language that I have. You can contact me with an answer by this forum using 76147,41 or call me at home at 313 268-0795.

If you or someone else will loan us the film recorder we will write the software to drive it (using the 24 bit data from SpectraScan). In fact, let me make this a public solicitation for help getting in touch with film recorder manufacturers. We consider film recorder output to be a necessary outgrowth of our work with SpectraScan. So far, we've be spectacularly unsuccessful in getting in touch with film recorder manufacturers and getting them interested. So…if anyone has any contacts with film recorder makers (prefera- bly one which operates over GPIB), please email me.
