Does anyone know of a list of companies that supply a SCSI connected printer? Preferably a low cost printer (postscript is not a requirement) that has a SCSI port built into it (as oppossed to a seperate converter box). thanks greg

The printer is based upon the Ricoh 4150 print engine that works at 15 pages per minute and a duty cycle of 25,000 pages per month. Many device drivers are currently under development, but the currently available MS/DOS driver will allow the printer to deliver a 600K PageMaker page to your hands in 20 seconds (first page out). The device driver is placed in your config.sys and redirects your applications printer output to the SCSI port. The printer can co-exist on the SCSI bus with other SCSI devices like tape backups or disk drives. Take a look at the PC Magazine article December 25,1990 issue on page 48 for a review. -- Harry Burford - NCR Peripheral Products Division PHONE:316-636-8016 TELEX:417-465 FAX:316-636-8889 CALL:KA0TTY SLOWNET:3718 N.
