About a year ago I requested and received literature for a chip upgrade to
MX's, RX's (which I have one of) and other pre-NLQ printers, that added NLQ
to the printer.  Enclosed samples looked pretty good, I think it's basically
sophisticated use of the graphics-mode capabilities (a guess).

Unfortunately, I decided not to sink the money (~ $75?) into a printer that's
too slow already, and I seem to've tossed the literature out.  And of course
I've forgotten the company name (MY volatile memory is even more limited and
volatile-er than my computer's!!:-().  I have seen their add again recently in
a Byte, though.  So be of stout heart, and wade through those back pages...
