Ektascan Sheet Film: AGFA or Fuji Equivilant?

B ack in the day I worked in a hospital and used a Kodak film labeled "Ektascab" to capture transient images from a CRT for Ultra-Sound and Nuclear Medicine scans. The film was used in standard 8x10 film holders and processed in a n automatic roller transport processor (90 sec dry-to-dry). Corners were round and had one rounded code notch. The chemistry was compatible with Kodak Tri-X. I would often load a few holders on Friday, shoot on the weekend (rated it at 200) and run them on Monday morning.

When developed at a lab I would ask for normal processing as Tri-X. Worked well and the negs looked great.

Anyone know of an equivalent emulsion from Fuji or AGFA?

Less than a buck per 8x10 sheet. Wow is right.
