Amiga Cards on Ebay - Seller doesn't know what they are.

I know the Ariadne is a NIC with CAT5. The others look custom modified with wires. DPM? Digial Processor Module? With customer headers on them for what I don't know.

I recall these cards being mention in an old thread. They were described as part of a custom medical imaging system. I don't recall that any one definitely identified them, knows about their exact use or the software that was used to run them though.

I knew and optical surgeon in our local Amiga club back in the early 1990's who told me they used imaging systems and Amigas as part of their practice. Perhaps this was the use? Only a guess though.

...custom medical imaging system...

That could be the HDI-1000 from ATL. It is an Ultrasound machine. They have been discussed on here before. ATL (Now absorbed by Phillips Medical) is down the hill from me and I worked a short time there. They built their own custom Amiga 4000's that ran the machines. (They had licenses from everybody before Commodore died.) When I was there in 1998 they were working on getting their PPC accelerators to work. I can't confirm that these are the the digital signal processors from them as I only ever handled test hardware that wasn't production and was often too big to fit in the machines.


HDI-1000

There is an Amiga in there! There was a key combo that I can't remember that let a technician go back to Workbench. (They built a new keyboard for it that remapped a lot of the keys to strange combinations.)

Jeeeez! It's some kind of Amiga robot :-o





Actually, wasn't there one of these up on the moon in the  Wallace and Gromit film 'A Grand Day Out' :lol:

Found a bit more here at the US patent office. Can you beleive a patent application from 2007 actually including Commodore Amiga as part of the Application?

ATL HDI 1000 Ultrasound 2007 Patent Application

On page 10 of the application it references the "PC running Labview". I assume Labview is the name of the software package being used? Unfortunately my doc viewing client is a free version with limited features, so I can't save and share the entire PDF file.

Grab your own robot!

I hope that these old ATL-machines aren't destroyed when replaced by newer equipment.

It's a great way to recover Amiga 4000 systems and bring back into the communty!

An old thread indeed, but I was just wondering if one could still pick one up...

$1,999... considering this is running a souped up A4000T, it might be a bargain compared to what's being asked by actual A4000T sellers
