AUD $25,000 for a Linotype L100 PostScript imagesetter

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.
The machine itself is actually available in Sydney NSW Australia for anyone who would
like to preserve it.

While trying to get the Compugraphic MCS Powerview simulated in MAME (specifically trying
to find a keyboard), I'm
finding a lot of dead trails to phototypesetters.
A friend in the business got a good laugh when I said I was looking for parts.
Someone should document the L100, but it isn't going to be me :P
