- For those interested, GoldKey Electronics is also offering a LAT
- Ethernet interface that will plug into an HP LaserJet IIIsi or HP
- LaserJet 4's expansion slot. They expect in a couple of months to have
- one available for the rest of the HP LaserJet III family.
-
- They have 2 models available. One offers automatic switching between
- PCL, Postscript, HP-GL, Sixel graphics and LN03 emulation. The other
- simply passes data through to the printer. Cost is $1295.00 for the
- auto-switching model and $895.00 for the other.
-
- I should add that we have not tried these out, but would be interested
- to hear from anyone who has. We are using some of their serial
- auto-switches and have found the quality and support to be very good.
- They do tend be pricey, but they are in a niche market. Their phone #
- is (603) 625-8518
