I added the Pacific Data 2Mb memory card to my IIP, in preparation for
adding their PostScript emulation cartridge.  The documentation was
clear, and the printer recognized the memory when it was switched on.
No problems!  Oh, btw, the price was Cdn$529, which sure beats HP's
Cdn$>1300!  Heck, the printer was only Cdn$1470.  They hook you with
the cheap printer, and then they do a gotcha when it comes to making
it usable!  Thank you Pacific Data!

The Pacific Data PostScript cartridge is also Cdn$529, vs HP's list of
about US$995, which would be about Cdn$1300 or more.
