WAIT A MINUTE, don't let this thread fall into the email crack! I wana hear this. I have been using a PC2A (I think) from National Instrument, a dead bang copy of the orriginal IBM 488 card described in the PC Tech Ref Manuals. I wrote a 386 Xenix driver for some HP2608A printers. Worked OK, but the board is no good on the faster computers. Now I'm kinda stuck, old driver not UNIX 3.2.4, old board no good either. But I've still got half a dozen of these printers. Oh yes, you need to do secondary addressing for commands, this is not a real simple interface. If someone has a CHEAP solution, like a $300 board and some PD software to begin the development process I am interested. John Watson
