Hi,

Here at Yrrid we're tossing around the idea of coming out with a parallel
printer port for the NeXT.  It would be a DSP-port <-> Centronics adaptor
and a driver for use as a normal tty (output only) for less than $200.
Since we already have a lot of the work done with our current product, it
would be somewhat painless but we'd like to get an idea of demand before
we go putting together a dead end product :)

If you want a DSP-port -> parallel port adaptor or anything else along
these lines for the NeXT, drop us a note at yrrid@world.std.com or
just reply to this message.

la la la,
