We have here two OCR from Calera Inc ( previously known as Palantir Corp )
One is a PC add-on card (AT-size) with a 68020 and lots of ram(2or4 megs)
and connection for a SCSI port for a scanner. We also have a UNIX add-on
which is a Ethernet connected-scanner and OCR. it contains 4 68000 and the
new version we do not have contains 4 68020 CPUs. It does a fair to very good
job depending on the quality of the input. scanning is fast (1 min/page).
It can read sideways but not at angle. For more info you should contact
Calera Systems. Sorry I can't find the info now but if someone needs it
e-mail to me.
