->Rumor has it that HP now has a plug in cartridge to do emulation on the 
->Series II (postscript).  It is supposed to be faster and better than
->Pacific Data.  Anyone have any info?  Called around to the mail-order houses
->and they are in the dark, having only been rumorized themselves.

  Offhand, I know about three postscript cartridges for the II/IIP:

    1)  Pacific Data  by Pacific Data (req. 2.5 meg. printer memory)
    1)  HP Postscript by Adobe (req. 2.5 meg)
    1)  JetScript     by Jet (req. 1.5 meg)

  I don't have any info on comparible speed performance, but obviously
  the JetScript cart only requires a 1 meg upgrade...
