Hi, I'm trying to set up an eye-tracking experiment on an SMI Eyelink  
I eye-tracker. Our lab has traditionally used PsyScript to run the  
eye-tracking experiments, but I'm trying to upgrade to a more powerful  
programming language, and PTB/ETB look to be the best option. A few  
questions:  
  
Is the OS-X version of eyelink toolbox available?   
  
Has the eyelink toolbox been tested on MatLab version 7.2 (on either  
OS-X or Windows XP)?  
  
For those who have run eye-tracking experiments using this software,  
do you find certain configurations of operating systems and versions  
of MatLab run better than others? Should I try to track down a copy  
of MatLab 5.2 and run the whole system off an OS-9 machine?  
  
Any advice on how to best set this up would be greatly appreciated, as  
I'm relatively new to both eye-tracking and MatLab.  
  
Many thanks,
