I just received an ad for a Postscript plug-in cartridge for
the Hp LaserJet II.  The company is TSA, and the price is $699.
I would greatly appreciate answers to the following:

1) Who else makes these boards, and at what prices?
2) We already have a large number of troff users who rely on
   the jetroff package, which uses standard PCL to print ditroff
   on the HP.  How will we be able to use PCL, if at all?
3) I assume PS will be much faster for just about everything.
   Therefore, I'd like to use it with troff.  Where out there
   are the troff->PS converters?
4) The ad claims "100% PS compatability".  How true?

Please EMAIL, I will summarize:
