AUD $25,000 for a Linotype L100 PostScript imagesetter (used).
Has a 68K computer inside it with Adobe ROMs. Communication via serial or AppleTalk.
One of the first high resolution PostScript imagesetters. Put a lot of feet of bromide
paper through it.
Neat! By the standards of the time, those were not really high image quality, but
definitely adequate and successful for newspaper work. I remember working with them in
the early 1980s.
