Submission for Unix-PC

I have a NEC 890 on my system and could not be happier with it.  It
emulates a Diablo 630, HP Laserjet of course postscript.  The newer
models also do HPGL (plotter) emulation as well I think.  The toner
cartridges are cheap ~$25 and last a good while and the "guts"
cartridge is no more expensive that any of the others.  It also has a
parallel, serial, and appletalk interfaces which means you can hook it
up to whatever you have.  The HP emulation is perfect as best as I can
tell and even runs the compatibility suite posted to the net a few
months ago.

I am using a ditroff package with postscript postprocessor which came
as part of a "software bundle" from what is now Discovery Electronics.
It also included emacs, a c interpreter, rdb, and troff for $295 I
think.  I don't use any of the other stuff just the ditroff but it
works pretty well.  The PIC package is a bit brain damaged and there
is no grap but eqn and tbl work fine.  I would buy eroff if I had it
to do over however.

To summarize, if you have the $$ then this is a fine product which has
worked perfectly for me with zero problems.

Cheers
