The LA180 has more in common with the LA120 than the LA36. There is
also a serially-interfaced variant of the LA180, which has a
serial-to-parallel (*NOT* "Centronics" parallel, for others reading
this) converter board mounted internally.

I really like the line printers, but they are not for home use... But
they work fine on a PDP-11 as well. You just need an LP11 card in the
machine. (Or LPV11 if you're a Qbus person.)
I have an LP26, an LP27, two LXY21s, and a Genicom (forgot what model,
but as I understand it it's still a current model) line printer here.
Great stuff.
I see no reason why these would "not be for home use". ;)
They're fine for /our/ homes...but not perhaps for everyone. ;)

EISNER is being or has been physically relocated. Once it is back up, I'll

what'll be available network-wise/router-wise until EISNER is back on-line.
Mind you with such a large change anyway, it might be a good time to "sneak in" the connection to HECnet :)
I totally dislike the "sneak in" comment. If it is going to happen, it
must be done very openly and consciously. Noone will benefit from trying
to sneak something in.
Once Eisner has been reconnected and revived -- seriously, I do not know
why this relocation effort is taking so long -- I will communicate with
the new caretakes about their router config; hopefully, it's a Cisco box
that can support the DECnet tunnel. I doubt that there would be a Linux
box there that would serve as a gateway.

The LP27 was quiet compared to the desktop dot matrix printers of the same

They were certainly expecting to sell a lot of them!

I'm not using the virtual cisco for HECnet at all, that's only for the

For HECnet I'm just running a plain old fashioned Johnny-bridge. :)
