Ah yes, you are right, 400 LPM. Our IBM 1403 at the CHM is 600 LPM and is a pretty impressive (and VERY loud) beast when it prints at full tilt, so I'd think the smaller 2608 should give a nice visual and sound performance when it starts cooking... Cleaning your garage you must.

I have a 2608A that I still haven't gotten around to trying since I acquired it years ago. My project for the beginning of this year is to get my garage cleaned up. Maybe I'll finally have space again to try getting it working with an HP-1000.

It says 400 LPM here, not 600. Still, that would be interesting to see work through a pile of paper.
