Hm.  I only know about the one I have.  It's the IBM-PC compatible version.
It has a mono-composite in and a serial port.  You display each of the
r, g and b bitmaps (using a decaying bitmap to have different intensities).
I've done a couple of test prints (640x400 HAM) and they look pretty
good. (I haven't tried making 35mm or 3.5x4.5 negatives and printing
those yet.)
