- CC said they are working on a Turbodriver for the 500C (that was back in
- September, maybe they lost interest or maybe it takes a long time). It
- might do better colour printing. Pity about the insane printer cable
- rewiring they use. It would be nice if it could integrate with the RO3
- printer drivers too (I don't think their current Turbodrivers do). I don't
- know how technically possible this is, given they probably do everything
- totally differently, but it's nice to be able to switch between printers
- so easily with !Printers (especially if you're using something like ArcFax
- as well as a normal printer).
