From: Mark Greinke <m15326@mitre> Can anyone recommend a laser printer for the IBM PC and also a graphics package capable of producing vu-graphs through it? Variable sized fonts and simple line drawing are all that are necessary. Thanks, Mark Greinke (greinke at mitre)

From: Wilson.ES@XEROX.ARPA We used the IBM PC to test Cougar, which doesn't have a graphics package, per se, but does allow full page graphics provided as a video stream from the host (interspersed with text). Alas, it is not a laser printer, merely a synchronous ("incremental") thermal transfer printer, 203spi and 6 ppm, ~7 cents/page. Diablo's (Fremont) OEM price: $2300.00. Ready to go as a 630 emulator with the graphics capability described above, as well as downloaded graphics ability and downloadable fonts (which Diablo is not selling).
