We sell the NCR laser for $1995US. It is just a bare bones laser (only includes
Diablo 6300 emulation). For graphics capability, you can add the Jlaser+ AT
(~$1000US w/ 2 megs) which is essentially a modified memory card that can be
used as graphic memory for the laser. Have used it with Dr. HaloDPE and
the Ventura Publisher (Xerox). Also, you will need a switching cable for the
laser (~$100).

By the way, the Jlaser+ AT will work with any Canon-based laser (check me if
I'm wrong), but you're looking as a little over $3000US.
