I remember there being a product by AT & T which was
capable of manipulationg "microdots" (micropels?,
thereby creating screen resolutions much greater then
was common in those days. It was a boardset and may
have been built around the 34010 (not sure about that
though - I think the product was called Targa, and I
could have confused Targa and TIGA).
I remeber the AT&T TARGA. Output was to a RGB monitor. Input via tablet with a puck
and a wand. They had it running on a Wyse PC/286. I wrote a converter to the Amiga IFF and
PC GIF, but I can't find the source any more.
I worked at the video lab for the County College of Morris (in New Jersey) back in 90-92.
They also had some SGI stuff and some film printers for the PC. All networked via
ethernet. Pretty advanced for a community college.
