  I have been offered a really good deal on an Epson Equity III and an LQ15000
  printer.  
  
  Does anyone have any experience on how good/bad an AT-clone the 
  Equity III is, or on its reliability, etc...  I know that Epson used to sell 
  some pretty strange PC's with a proprietary OS in the past, and I want to be 
  convinced that they have changed their ways.

  As far as the LQ1500 is concerned, is this functionally identical to the
  newer LQ models (LQ800 and LQ1000)?  (Especially wrt. escape codes). Or is
  it an orphan model that I should avoid?

  Please reply to me directly, and I will summarize anything useful and post it
  to the net.

  Thx. Don Taylor. (utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!xios!dont)
