Hi!
After the discussion a couple of months ago about
using vintage equipment to
capture and digitize photos, I finally got the Targa 16 (circa 1985)
installed and semi-working. While I am currently using a 386-25 or so
computer with it now, the programming manual makes reference to it working
with the ATT 6300 so as soon as everything works fine on the 386, I'll
transfer everything over to the 6300 and see what happens then. As for the
camera, I am using a Minolta Color Video Camera model K-800S AF in
conjunction with a Hitachi Video Tuner and Portable Cassette Recorder unit.
I don't know the dates on this unit but it should be early to mid 80's
technology. I also have a General Electric Tuner, Color Camera, and Video
Cassette Recorder that is early 80's. I am still missing the TrueVision
TIPS software (the main program disk is corrupted) but I did get some leads
on a couple places in town that used to use the Targa board and still might
have them and the software laying around.
Cushy comments about Targa stuff...snipped!
Wait a minute!
That AT&T 6300 is 8088 type machine? That would make a very poor
image scanner system for this!
Why doing downgrading from that nice 386-25 system? Beside that, 386
technology is now over 10 years now since '85 the year Intel
introduced that chip?
That would include all of my 386 of portable and one notebook! :)
And one testbed too. ahem.
