I would like to know whether anyone has used the Super-MX Epson interface
card from Spies Laboratories. This card claims to have all of the standard
features found on cards like the Grappler, and, in addition, to print nearly
daisywheel quality characters using two passes in graphics mode. The results
reproduced in their advertisements seem to support this claim, but I've noticed
that the standard Epson print they include also looks better than usual, maybe
due to the higher contrast of the reproduction. Anyway, I'd like to see a
full page of real text, or hear from someone who has, before I spend the $200
or so that the card costs. The card also can add several fonts, including
what appear in the ads to be very nice Roman, Letter Gothic, Orator, Script,
and Old English; it can print 12 cpi in at least the Roman font. It sounds
great-has anyone out there got/seen one? I'll summarize any responses.
