The ATM documentation states that it doesn't work with the GCC Personal
Laser Printer.  Since the PLP driver and the WriteMove driver are nearly
identical apart from resolution, I would guess (although I never tried it)
that it won't work on the WriteMove or WriteImpact either.  I remember
seeing a posting from Adobe that Adobe and GCC were working on a fix, but
don't remember seeing a release date.

As far as the WriteMove is concerned, we had one here for testing.  It was
cute (good for the Portable?), but reeeeeal slow - much slower than an
ImageWriter.  I'd much rather use a DeskWriter a lot faster and 300DPI
(but then I'm biased).
