Yes.  I wrote an emulator  for an EPSON printer.  It runs under PS.  Because
of the 8bit non-transparent I/O I was unable to make it print graphics.'
There used to be a company that made network cards to interface to the MAC.
One of the engineers wrote an FX-80 emulator that does do graphics.  It
runs ONLY on Appletalk, which apparently has a transparent 8 bit channel.
Adobe apparently crippled the serial port deliberatly, for whatever reason
and I am not going to speculate why, though I have a real good Idea as to
why.  I also found a version of a program that runs on a PC and converts
the EPSON graphics to hex stuff, and downloads a handler such that you can
get graphics through. It was not acceptable to either myself or any of my
clients.  The networking company went under, so I'm not sure of teh
status of the FX-80 driver.

Give me a call for more info.
