- The new NEC Silentwriter 95 does auto switching between appletalk,
- serial and parallel port. Also has HP III emulation, but switching
- from postscript to HP requires front panel switch (or can use a TSR
- program they include). Street price for this printer about $1500-1600.
- Full postscript, 35 fonts, 6ppm
