Scitex V.I.P RIP & Dolev 200, CTF (computer to film)

I have a Scitex Dolev 200 with V.I.P. RIP running on an old PowerMac 8100. Mac is connected to the imagesetter with the optical cable. Does anybody know how can I upgrade the RIP either to HQ PC based or Mac based RIP. Can I get a new card to connect my optical cable that will go into more modern computer?

RIP Upgrade question, Xitron Xenith, Adobe RIP/Trap

Yes, I agree with Jim, call Xitron and go with their Xitron Xenith , is Adobe RIP with adobe IRT in rip trapping. It's a very good deal for small to medium sized shops and has the best trapping engine, can handle all the modern files and file problems, has a very wide list of supported devices, including yours.

Xitron RIP for Scitex 200, CTF (computer to film) prepress

Thanks. I looked into Xitron's site. The RIP you recomend supports Dolev 200. However, there is a problem. I have optic cable on my machine. Xitron's PC RIP requires an SCSI, 5V, interface card. That means I'll be short of cable and an interface card on the machine, itself. Am I right when making this conclusion. Would anybody know where to find these?
Thanks
Misko

Thank you. I was in touch with Xitron. They can supply the cable and interface card. It should solve the problem, providing it is not to expensive.

Xitron RIP is to expensive. They want $7.000. I shall try to use the old RIP I have. However, I have already encountered problems. Does anybody know how to save files on PC that can be RIPed on my V.I.P. Scitex RIP?
I have EPS files. I have tried to print into Dolev VIP L2, Virtual imagesetter and moved this PS file to the Mac. It prints the image without register and cut marks and does not mirror it.
Thanks
Misko

I have opened and assessed these boards but still no place for optcal cable interface. Remember my imagesetter is Delov 400 and not 200 or do they have the same interface, i dont know, the machine has been down for one year simply because of host interface issue.
