- Thanks for the reply, Matthew, now a couple more questions ;)
-
- I thought Ariadne was supposed to have 2 parallel ports? How is the second one
- implemented? I had assumed that it was available directly on a second blanking
- plate but Paul LeSurf of Blittersoft (UK) cryptically said it was available on
- the card. Does this mean I have to buy a ribbon cable and port/blanking plate
- myself?
-
- Would I be able to print Final Writer/Propage files out of the one of the
- Ariadne parallel ports? How would I implement a logical command like:
-
- copy test.ps par: (which sends a postscript file directly to the native
- parallel port for my laserjet)
-
- And finally, are you glad you bought the Ariadne?
-
- Thanks.
