Hi there,
	I was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas of what to
	do with the controller box of a QMS Lasergrafix 1200 laser
	printer.  (No suggestions involving body orifaces and silicon
	please!)  It seems such a shame to strip it for parts, 
	especially when it has a 68k processor in it.

	I wouldn't mind some circus(!) diagrams for it, but these
	appear to be unobtainable as well, and no-one seems to know
	of a good use for it apart from driving the printer.

	Here's some basic specs:

	68K,  .5Meg RAM,  up to 1 Meg EPROM, 2K EEPROM

	The reason I'm pretty vague is I haven't opened the one I
	have yet; it's still sitting at home giving insects a home.
	We got 2 complete, working QMS1200s last year for:

	How much would you expect to pay?

	A box of 8&1/2 inch lineflow each!

	Now they are dumped, and I don't want to waste the controller.
	Ideas please!
	
	(Post me @  spt@grace.waikato.ac.nz)

	Tnx
