The HyperScript(TM) system isn't exactly "PostScript(TM)-on-a-chip"; rather, it's a PostScript(TM)-compatable interpreter running on Weitek's XL-8200 RISC processor. It resembles the QMS PS-Jet in form factor (AT-card + IO) and runs about 5-10 times faster than the LaserWriter. Currently the system runs wuth the Canon SX engine, but is easily modifiable for others. Weitek is located at 1060 E. Arques in Sunnyvale (94086) and their number is 408/738-8400. And, yes, I do work for them. -Neal Bedard * PostScript is a trademark of Adobe, HyperScript is a trademark of Weitek.
