I attended the Seybold Conference on Desktop Publishing in Santa Clara, CA
(Sept 13-17, 1988.)  John Warnock of Adobe Systems was on stage.  One guy
on the floor asked him when will be the first PostScript film recorder
available.  John answered "soon".  The audience was really upset.  John
received a lots of boos and yelling from the audience.  

To my understanding, he has been saying the same thing since day one.
The audience was blaming Adobe Systems for the lack of a film recorder
due to their expensive license fee.

I am new to this field, but based on what I heard from the conference,
there was NO postscript film recorder in the market as of mid September,88.

Good luck in your search (or perhaps patience is more useful in this case)
