Vantage/FCS 2.0 data files wanted

Towards the goal of making my PC analysis program MFI compatible, can
anyone out there provide me with some sample list mode data files from some
of the newer or rarer cytometers? I'd particularly appreciate some files
from the FACS Vantage, or any files which begin "FCS2.0".

It would be useful to have files with few and many parameters. MFI can
currently handle up to 8 parameters. MFI cannot currently handle files
which use different resolutions for different parameters in the same file
(e.g. 256 channels for some and 1024 channels for others), so don't send
that kind of file.

FTP (in !!BINARY!! mode) sample files (anonymous) to flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu
in /pub/upload, and send me an email message so I'll know what to look
for and who donated it.

To minimize redundancy, I already have examples of the following (MFI is
compatible with these):

BD FACScan/Star Research Software for HP 3.1 computers.
BD Consort 30 for HP 3.1 computers.
BD CellFit for HP 3.1 computers.

BD Lysys II versions 1.0, 1.1 for HP 3.2 computers.

BD FACS 440 with DOS 3 or VAX/VMS 4.7.

Coulter Elite w/ DOS 4, DOS 5.
Coulter EPICS MDADS/86 under DOS.
Coulter XL.

Verity Winlist 1.0 sample file.

(MFI 3.4c is available by anonymous BINARY ftp from flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu
in /pub/martz. A beta test version of 3.4d with several new features and
some known bugs which will be fixed 'real soon now' is in
/pub/martz/beta.dir.)
