I've recently seen some ad's in Computer Shopper with people selling
(surplus?) Sears FAX machines that can also be copiers. I'm curious
about what sort of hacking I can do on that machine ... specifically,
there is probably some sort of processor in there which knows how to
deal with bitmaps. Attached in with it would be a digitizer and
a FAX modem. I suppose that for the copier mode it digitizes an image
then routes it internally to the print engine. Anybody know?
Mainly though, does anybody know what sort of laser engine is inside
the box? Is it something that I could buy something like the Jlaser
board -- i.e. a board to fit into a PC bus (or preferably an Amiga
2000 bus, but the PC pus would do) -- and I instantly have a laser
printer hooked to my Amiga? Maybe at the cost of a little bit of
cable swapping so that the fax machine could again be used for fax?
Thanx,
