@ Framiga

The link hints that ATL used an Amiga in one of their ultrasound machines.
Unforunately ATL merged with Philips and I can't find any references to Amiga hardware in Philips products.
If you find any Philips or ATL software on the drive, you'll know it was part of an ultrasound setup from ATL.

Also, Philips was fond of Motorola-based hardware in other systems. For example our (now ageing) Philips CT scanner in JHB had an 020 on board that just handled the transfer of slice info.

I'm willing to bet that this dude is behind it (long shot), but read his resume...

If he didn't do the software, I'm sure he knows who did.

Can you get more of those boards? I am also curious as to what other custom hardware ATL had. Can you get more info?

Okay people, I finally got hold of the right Philips engineer, the guy who knows about the ATL machines (here in the UK).
Anyway, it is not good news. Apparently all the units in operation at the moment were either converted to Winblows or have been redesigned for Winblows (or NT or whatever). When I asked him what happened to the Amiga boards and the Amiga hardware, he told me that Philips sends all their defunct or obsolete hardware to an enviromentally-friendly recycling plant where they are 'melted'.
I felt like saying  :furious: but I told him that there would definitely be people who would buy those boards (I'm sure we could buy them for under £50). But he said Philips would not be interested in such a 'small' market. So they won't sell to us but will instead have them recycled  :-?
