I have an IBM PC/AT compatible, and have recently acquired an IBM 5224-2 printer. Of course, i would like to interface the two. The problem is in the fact that the printer is a twinax device, designed to be used with IBMs system 3x / AS400 computers. I have located an interface for this through a "Black Box Corp" in Pittsburgh, PA, however they ask $1395 for it. Although this does seem to be a very good printer and all, i obviously still find $1395 completely outrageous and out of the question. My request is for information on where I could get an interface, but at a substantially lower cost. I would appreciate that (preferably), but if that is not available, some form of tech notes on the subject could also be helpful Thank You Robert J Miskines
