1. We have to buy soon a couple of analysis stations for the BDIS
Cellquest program (as well as perhaps for Attractors). Does anyone already
have experience on using any of those programs with:
Mac LC630 (68LC040 33 Mhz, 16 Mb RAM, no FPU) System 7.1 or/and 7.5
and
PowerMac 7100 (601,66-80 Mhz, 16 Mb RAM) System 7.1.2 or/and 7.5
I heard that Cellquest works on both systems, and with more or less the
same speed. However there were some reports that there are problems with
the LC 630... any news ???
I tried Attractors (no FPU) on the PowerMac 7100/66/Sys 7.1.2 and it
crashes all the time (runs into never ending calculations), however it
works on the 68040 of a Quadra 800.
I would of course like to buy Powermacs if possible, but if there is no
speed advantage and BDIS is not going native for another 2 years (that's
what the French BDIS told me), maybe a LC 630 is the best deal ???
2. For storage, I thought of optical disks (230 or 1.3 Gb), any
problems with those ?? Is access time/transfer rate an issue ???
3. Has anyone tried the "WinFCM" solution to interface a BDIS FacsScan
to a PC for aquisition (or a FACStar Plus) ????? Please let me know your
experience)
Thanks for all information !!
