>JetScript: PC board so requires a PC

>QMS-800: ???

>PS Jet: ???

>The last two I believe replace the LaserJets compute engine with their own.


I can see in the current issue of PC Magazine (May 16) two ads 
on making Laserjets handle Postscript commands.  You already allude to
one (QMS) by Laser Connection whose phone number is 1800-523-2696 (from
within the US).

The other is about software that costs $195 (with 13 fonts), or
$395 (with 35 fonts).  It is called GoScript and the company is
LaserGo, Inc.  Their phone is (619)530-2400 and Fax (619) 530-0099.
Their address is 9235 Trade Place, Suite A
                 San Diego, CA 92126

Their England's dealer (Graphic Sciences) phone number is (01) 940-9480.
