Please remember to specify minor detail like which operating system you
are using... In this case the solution set varies considerably depending
on whether you prefer Ultrix or VMS.
In this case, I think you've gotten both sets - I assumed Ultrix since
with VMS you simple pay $$$ and get the BI-Unibus I/F and whatnot...
BTW, we went with the VPS solution a while back and it seems to work
pretty well. Of course it's many months later and we're still waiting
for Versatec to deliver a version of their Scicards/Fastplot software
that knows how to talk to the thing... You get HPGL and a nice speedup
over the REP or software based rasterizers.
