From: Richard Furuta <Furuta@WASHINGTON.arpa> The July 1985 Byte has a "What's New" description of the Xerox 6085 minicomputer and the Xerox 4045 Laser Copier/Printer. It's on page 39. Starting price for both is $4995. The 4045 is rated at 10 pages/minute, 5000 pages/month. It's resolution is 300 dots per inch. If I recall properly, the functionality is supposed to be similar to the 2700. The surprising thing about this, to me, is that you cannot expand the configuration to the point that you can get a full page bitmap. The initial configuration is 128K bytes of memory. This can be expanded to 512K bytes, at which point you can only reproduce a 5 by 7 inch image at full resolution (you can do the full page at 150 dpi). Anyone have more comments on these products? We've had some requests for information on them before but I don't recall any definitive statements in reply. --Rick -------
