I am also looking for any PD program for the TOPS Flashcard to print to
a laserwriter. I'd be interested to hear about them also. I have a Flashcard
and currently the only way I can print to the laserwriter is to load all
the TOPS software including the printer support code. The problem with this
is that the software is made up of a bunch of TSRs that hog memory. All I
want is a simple (non-tsr) program to send a file to the printer. In addition
to the memory requirements, for some reason printing will only work
if I slow my 33mhz 386 down to 8mhz speed (yuck).

Thanks
