- Hello, I am planning to purchase some IRIS Indigo's for our display laboratory.
- But the data will be generated on a VME box using 60830's. I've interface these
- to sun sparcs and the floating point formats are compatible. How much trouble
- am I going to have interfacing to SGI equipment. Can I get by with careful design of struct's , or do I need to go to something like XDR?
-
- Thanks for your help. E-mail if possible I might miss a post to this group.
