That sucks. It would be a really cool thing to be able to do.
Maybe someone within DEC can anonymously slide some info your way.
Hey, I can hope. :-)

Oh I would seriously *dig* this. :-) It would be great to be able

Dear Microscopist:
Every once in awhile a new product comes along in the world of
microscopy that is truly worthy of 'sounding the horn'. We believe this
is one of those times so......here it is.... our new "Eyepiece Video
Camera"! It is the very first video camera designed especially to be
used on your microscope's binocular. How about that? Now, among us
microscope nerds that IS exciting news.
About the size of a microscope eyepiece, this ingenious analog camera is
easily put into use by removing an eyepiece from your microscope and
replacing it with the camera. It is truly as easy as that. It is no
longer an absolute must for you to have a "trinocular" microscope to
perform video microscopy so this camera will work on any monocular,
binocular, or even a trinocular microscope. Now you can see your
microscopic images on any tv or, capture and store images on any
computer with an additional capture board (a must for emailing images).

%2F%2Fwww.tscmicroscopes.com" HYPERLINK
"http://ccprod.roving.com/roving/images/letters/spacer.gif". Eyepiece
Video Camera
How much would a camera that offers this much convenience and capability
cost you are undoubtedly asking? And the answer is.....only $245 plus
s/h/ins. If you plan on capturing images to your computer you will need
a video capture board. We have one available with software for $99.50.
(You might want to check your computer to see if you already have one
because many of the new computers sold today already have them
installed.) Both items can be ordered on-line right on our site or by
calling our office.

I bought a few things from the local university's surplus shop today.
First, I needed a printer, my ink-guzzler having recently become
unavailable. I found a LaserJet II, which should work nicely for what I
need to do. It's also on-topic and looks it (in a good way). I'm
guessing I'll want to get a 4MB memory module and a Postscript module for
it. That stuff looks to be decently available on eBay. Cost: $25.
I also picked up a microfiche viewer, as I have some manuals on fiche
cards that I'd like to see. Cost: $10.
I hope these things actually work...
