OK. Can't help on the PERQ display. But the CCD can scan color. Just
do thre scans with red, green and blue light... If you
have an enlarger
with dichoritic color head it will be the perfect light source.
Indeed I do. There is one problem. It's a DeVere 504 (5*4" neagtive
carrier) with the Dichromat head. It's not small or light. And nor is the
PERQ. And they are not close together (I deliberately arranged for the
darkroom to be far from computers and tools). Whether I could use the
head on its own, I suspect I could, and that's quite easy to move.
[Yes, the head and timer do contain electronics. But it's all standard
compoents (apart from transformers, etc), so I can repair it. ]
The quality of my slides exceeds the resolution
of this device...
Slides exceed the resolution of most digital cameras. You have to
come
up with at least 20 MP to mach a good 35 mm slide.
