When the Showlaser was new I remember downloading the video. It might of come up on alt.lasers, or perhaps the LaserF/X IRC chat. I must of watched it a thousand times! When we watched it at FLEM the year before last I pretty much remembered it word for word.
This was in a time/era when all diodes that were making it into the general light show level were very very low power. It seemed like a dream machine, so much power, integrated cooling, etc. Red diodes were a thing but this machine foreshadowed where we would end up I suppose. I didn't know it was PCAOM based, I always imagined it had direct modulation of some sort.
Fascinating that these are surfacing!
You know .... we need to watch some shows on it @ SELEM.
