There has been some work going on emulating early Laserwriters in MAME and I was
wondering
if anyone still has boards or firmware dumps from Laserjets.
It seems most have been scrapped.

I hope I know the answer, but having said that, I?m really curious as to why they?re
working on the emulation.
The only old Lasers I have are an HP 5mp I bought new, and finally retired this spring
(though I just realized it?s probably still on), and a 5p I was given a few years ago. I
was quite happy to get my VMS Cluster working with a modern HP LaserJet that is *WAY*
faster, and supports duplexing.
