With respect to the Commodore choice to put HPIB on
their computers, as
opposed to a parallel port, there was a fellow here in Denver who cooked up a
circuit that allowed one to attach a then-common EPSON printer to the HPIB,
thereby making the computer into a useful tool. He became rich beyond his
wildest dreams, and started a company called "Progressive Peripherals" which
may in fact still be in operation.
Could that be the Progressive Peripherals and Software (PP&S) which produced a
lot of different boards for the Amiga?
BTW, Dick, are you allergic towards snipping? You just quoted about twenty-
five times the amount of lines you added. Was that necessary or did you just
do that to make my telco richer and me a little bit poorer?
