Image processor $ estimate

[Paul O'Neill]

My boss just dumped this "need it yesterday" grant proposal estimate on
me, so I'd appreciate any quick responses from those of you who may have
this stuff on the top of your head:

1) Is a Sun 4/330 the cheapest SPARC I can get with an empty VME slot?

2) Do you know of any image processors that will plug into the S-bus, or
   SCSI-bus?  This would enable me to spec a much-cheaper SS1+ as the host
   workstation.

3) Does an S-bus <-> VME-bus translator exist?  (Is this even reasonable?)

My current system is a very nice, very affordable Imaging Technology
ITI151 image processor plugged into a Sun 4/110.  I would duplicate it,
however, you can't get a 4/110 these days.

Please respond via e-mail, as I DO read these groups and I WILL summarize.
(Doesn't it burn you when these leaches who don't contribute drop in to
pick our brains? :-)
