Pixel computer

Does anyone have information of the Pixelie

  computers running the Unix 
operating system?  We have one purchased about 7 years ago as part of
an infrared spectrophotometer from Mattson Instruments, Inc.  Following 
a hardware/software upgrade two years ago we started seeing a reoccurring
error message that we have determined is coming from the computer.  The
error message is "Random interrupt type 29 ignored".  This is repeated
continuously until the console locks up and/or the computer crashes or
defaults to DEBUG.  We have no documentation on the system and Mattson
has been less than helpful.  The Pixel company no longer exists.

We realize this is not necessarily a hardware BB, but if anyone knows
anything about this particular setup or has heard of this problem, please
send reply to : kwilliams at ruby.vcu.edu

Please do not send replies to this BB as we are not subscribers.

Thank you!  Kathleen Williams
