Bob, I think thats backwards.
I’m still having problems trying to get photoshop 0.9 to boot on my pdp11. One
major issue is writing code for a Unibus to USB driver, so I can use a
conventional scanner, but I’m optimistic that using 19 bit core memory will
give me more subtle gray's with more pleasing transitions and better flesh
tones, in Black and White of course.
While there's still some controversy, it's overwhelmingly evident that
core storage inherently limits image resolution - have you ever looked
at how huge every single bit is in core? Solid-state memory, with bits
that are 1000x smaller, is untouchable in this respect.
However, be careful: despite the resolution advantage of dynamic
memory, the image permanence of static RAM is superior.
[An oft-overlooked draw-back of core memory is that every read
of a bit inherently erases it, so the image is constantly being
reproduced, and we know how that impacts image quality]

P.S. Does anyone else think of the 'Breaking Bad' scene about the
'Star Trek' transporter beam here?
