Documentation

My CI-5000 came with a whole envelope of assorted documentation, although unfortunately a lot is missing...

In the interest of preservation I've scanned everything I have, and here's where you can find that :)

I believe most of these are from October-December 1992
(the included floppies have a date code of Oct92, and my machine was manufactured in November 1992)

• Palette Driver Installation Guide

  
  

  

  A walk-through of installing the Palette GS/WS drivers onto a DOS system
  PaletteDriverInstallGuide_Optimized.pdf
  
  
  

• Polaroid Digital Palette GS/WS 'Making Output - Chapter 5'

  
  

  
  This seems to be a basic guide on how to use the included Digital Palette WS and Digital Palette GS software for DOS/Win3.1.

• Polaroid Digital Palette 'Producing Graphics'

  This one includes a handy reference to several error codes that the recorder may throw :)

• Polaroid Digital Palette 4x5 System
  
  

  

  An add-in pack for the Digital Palette manual, explaining how to use the 4x5 film accessories.
  Also includes the contents page for that manual, however unfortunately none of the manual was included.

• Polaroid 4x5 Camera Adapter

  
  

  

  Mostly a guide on how to use the Polaroid 545/545i 4x5 film holders, along with the 4x5 adapter for the Palette.

  that's these thingies :)
  
  

  

  (you'll have to excuse the messy workbench!)

Software

My Palette also came with four software/driver floppy disks for DOS/Windows 3.1, as well as a burnt CD containing version 1.1 of GraphX Inc's RasterPlus95

I haven't yet been able to archive the software on these disks yet due to losing my USB floppy drive, but here's some scans of their labels :)

All of these date from October 1992.

Marketing materials

Some various 90s marketing brochures and cards that came with my Palette :)

A proper blast from the past!

  • Palette Registration card

    "We'll send you one of our Presentation Products, FREE!" - 1992
    
    

  
  
  Phwoarr, free film!
  
  My Palette actually came with several rolls of Presentation Chrome and High Contrast Polachrome, all of which (surprisingly) still worked in 2015/16!!
  In fact, there may still be some in the fridge!
