[SunRescue] XEROX /Sun IPX??

[Brian McCloskey]

yeah, i had a similar job in college and there were a ton of different rip 
(rasterizing image processor) units in use by xerox and other companies. we 
had a jetstream rip unit that ran on an sgi indy and had a proprietary 
controller card for the xerox majestik color copier that was hooked up to 
it. it also ripped to some large format plotters and a film recorder. i've 
seen several sun machines in use at dtp places. a local kinko's has an ultra 
2. pretty cool stuff.
