A bit off topic but I'm curious if anyone has any technical information on
Animatics motion controllers. Animatics was based in (Santa Clara) in
the 1990s. They were bought by Moog sometime around 2000 and all the old
info was thrown out.
A support engineer working for Moog (who had worked for Animatics before
the buyout) provided a bunch of DOS utilities and info on the RS232
programming that he found on a backup, but this is all the info that exists.
Schematics for the hardware (CPU is a Phillips SCC68070 with a MC68881 math
coprocessor), firmware code and any other technical info would be great.
