BTW, I did the documentation for XenoCopy on a Corona
Data Systems/Cordat
laser printer controller, whose software REFUSES to work on a 286.
Was that one of the cards that used the PC to create the page bitmap nd
set it driectly to the printer engine (probably a Canon CX-VDO)? I know
that printer fairly well, having created one to use on my PERQ (which has
a similar printer interface). Pity you can no longer get toner cartridges
for it :-(
Think realistically, please.
Make THAT
request of somebody who is more prone to do so.
Unreasonable?? Damn straight.

persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. - George Bernard Shaw

What has "improved" in the last 10 or 20
years? Sure, they've gotten
faster, but MICROS~1 PLANS on Moore's law, and the software takes away an=
y
performance gains of the faster hardware.
As I have said here before, I can't think of one development in the last
30 years which has actaully improved my life ,or made it easier to do the
things I want to do (I can think of many that have had the reverse effect
though).
