They even have a picture of it working with the tractor feed and the lid is off. Their price is $249. So what does the net think about the Bondwell B310 in the DAK catalog? A 286 with a 20 meg hard drive sounds pretty good for $1,299.00. Terry Gold

Yes, you have to have the lid open on the printer for tractor feed. But I have my lid off all my printers most of the time anyway. The B310 had a nice feel but the non-backlit screen started driving me crazy in ten minutes. But then I don't see that well. And I have a T1200 that is backlit so I knew that I could do better. But I also paid a lot more money....... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Bower - N4NMR Honeywell Federal Systems Inc. e-mail: uunet!hfsi!bower 7900 Westpark Drive. phone:(h) 703-435-5081 (o) 703-827-3559 McLean, VA 22102 -----------------------------------------------------------------
