archaicn. A massive controller built to drive the Ricoh 4400 40-ppm (pages per minute) printer. It spanned three PC boards, one for the 10 Mb of DRAM, one for the video output section, and one for the bit-sliced processor. Code for the controller was written in a hideous VLIW microcode language. Despite the hardware stack's limiting the function call depth to 4 or 5 levels, LeoS actually programmed the thing to do a polygon fill. The product was never sold to a general market, but a few were used by another company that shared some of the development costs. LaserMaster showed it at trade shows printing 40 different pages per minute from Ventura Publisher. People were amazed, and it helped to build the company's reputation for speed. (DaleM kept a crunched up PrintMaster circuit board that he ran through a tree shredder in a jar.)
