        I have two customers who are running Pictro 3000 machines; and both of
them absolutely ADORE them.

        [For the uninitiated, Fujix Pictrography machines are true RGB printers,
complete with the extended gamut one would expect. Essentially, they use a
semi-dry photography process, which is well wrapped up in patents by Fuji's
subsidiary, Fujix. Originally the Pictrography 3000 machines were $30,000
back in 1995 & 1996; but the price dropped to about $7000 in 1997 in order
to move machines - Give away the razors, sell the blades. Current cost is
about $2.91 per 9x11.5 inch print on a 3000. The difference between a
Pictrography 3000 and 4000 is the image size - Letter vs tabloid.]

        Anyway, my customer running their Pictro 3000 from an NT box is using the
1.06 multiprocessor plug-in. I'll have an answer for you in a couple of
days for the version number on the one running the PowerMac plug-in on a
Radius 81/110. I CAN tell you the following for the one on the NT box...
Since I just threw a print on it this afternoon...

        NT4/Server/SP5, MacServerIP 7.0 (build 1.120), Photoshop 5.5; iPR440FX
dual 200 mHz PPro w/256 MB RAM; Pictro on separate AdapCrap 2940 SCSI
w/ASPI 5.0.

        Hope this helps!
        Dan
