I wonder how many implementations there were of that sort of thing. I wrote one for an HP flatbed plotter sometime in the 80s to digitize plots from papers, but I never heard of another. I don't remember the implementation, but it must have been cheaper hardware than the one shown, and only had a plastic lens as the sight.

Super interesting! > It is janky though So what? It can be improved :) Would you like to try to make an APE out of it? It would then be not just different Linuxes, but also MacOS and Windows, a bit like https://x410.dev/ or the free software vcxserv https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Not if you use an X server that's specifically designed for it: https://x410.dev/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

I also work off Windows, but I've been able to run of Linux via WSL and x410.dev. Source: about 3 years ago
