If you don't have one, get an account on GEnie . There you will find the
program DJ_DEGAS.TTP which will print all Degas file types to the Deskjet.
For resolution-independent printing that takes better advantage of the
Deskjet's 300 dpi resolution, however, I strongly suggest getting a GDOS
driver (such as Neocept's Turbojet). Then you can import those Degas pictures
into Timeworks DTP or other GDOS programs, and get better results.

You can pick up a Deskjet driver for Publishing Partner 1.03 from Softlogik's
BBS (314) 894-0057.

Howard Chu recently converted a lot of Macintosh fonts to GDOS format.
You can FTP the set from archive sites, and probably find them on Genie as 
well. The Fontz program from Neocept comes with some good GDOS fonts,
as does Wordup and also Timeworks DTP. With Fontz, you can make your
own GDOS fonts, or modify existing ones.

I just bought VIDI-ST. It captures and digitizes video images so fast
you are actually watching your movie in real time on the ST monitor.
It buffers up the video frames, so that when you freeze, you can choose
among any of the snapshots it has saved. On my 2.5 Meg 1040 ST, up to
65 frames can be buffered. It is not a true color digitizer, it captures
at 16 different shades, which you can then assign a color palette to. 
For true color, you can get Color ComputerEyes, but this one requires
a still image from your video source. The image capture takes 24 seconds
if you want a good quality image, and 6 seconds for the lower quality. 
Process the raw output file using Digispec, and you will get a Spectrum 512
format file that renders your image in true color.

Hope this helped,
