However, the Printer has a 'Twinax' interface, which IBM uses on their System 3x's. Now, I have located an interface for the PC, but the company requests $1395. This is obviously out of the question. I would appreciate any information on where to obtain (at a signifigicantly lower cost) an interface. As i am moderately skilled in that area, i would also appreciate a schematic, or at the bare minimum, tech specs on this 'Twinax' system. Thank you Robert J Miskines
