And a library that stocks laser discs? And video capture hardware? If you do, then please find a copy of the disk and make some of it available to the rest of the world. Preferably in 24 bit files available by anon FTP. This still doesn't handle the recent (83-89) images. How about someone at JPL making some images available? They wouldn't have to be high quality (ie: already enhanced and false colored), but I would ask that they be 24 bit color or good 8 bit greyscale. I'm sure someone could set up an anon FTP server for the images, or place them on an established system. Chris ps. Anyone at JPL know a reason this couldn't be done?
