 As one "Un-Happy Camper" after trying to get UltraScript to work on a
 system and configuration that "should work", I vote for either the
 PostScript-In-A-Cartridge or an Add-On board.

 The advantage to the Cartridge is that it is completely [8-)]
 separated from your PC and the PC's configuration, operating system,
 etc.  Just send PCL down the right wire and it will (should) work.
 Who cares whether you run HIMEM/LOWMEM or NoMEM [8-)], etc.

 All of the reviews of the Pacific Data PS cart have been good, except
 in the area of speed (and you need 2.5Mb of memory).

 On the other hand, Hewlett-Packard just announced a Postscript cart
 licensed from (THE) Adobe.  No idea about extra memory, but list
 price is $995.
