I have been thinking getting a LaserPort 600 with UltraScript Plus.
This would make my laser printer a true 600*600 DPI printer. However
it requires at least 6MB of memory (7 is recommended). Now the question
is :

Can UltraScript form the bitmap on disk or can it use extended memory
on disk ?

I believe that there are programs that make your HD emulate extended
memory. Now TURBODISC is a ramdisk on a 16-bit card (up to 48MB). It
is really fast (< 2 microsecs.). This way I could have my main memory
for applications and TURBODISC for UltraScript.

Does this make sense to anyone ? :-) Or am I just dreaming impossible ?

Thanks,

Markku
