It is a coprocessor card for the PC, with 3 meg of ram, and a 16 mhz >68000 on board. It converts an HPLJ series II to postscript. Yep, that's the product. I just got mine yesterday and will be installing it this week. HP is offering this stuff direct for $495.00. The number for ordering is 1-800-538-8787. The product number is 88141A, but you don't need it to order. Disclaimer: (This shouldn't be necessary, but...) I don't really care whether you order one of these things or not. I certainly have nothing to gain if you do. This is intended only as a public service announcement for those who have been looking for a reasonable way to print PostScript on their HP LaserJet Series II printer.
