Roger,

There is a GEOS application for controlling ComputerEyes.  It was
written by BSW and was released as freeware.  It should be available
on QLink, and through user groups and public BBSs.  I believe it runs
only in 40 column mode, but it does save the image in geoPaint format.

I recall seeing another shareware ComputerEyes driver recently, I
think it was called "ColorEyes."  I think it's supposed to do an eight
grey scale picture and let you map different background patterns to
the different intensities.  It saves images in several different
formats, but I don't think it included any C128 specific formats.  It
might be worth taking a look at though.
