Yup, that's it. Gone are my dreams of setting up a high tech
exporting firm between the Netherlands and Hawaii (and
possibly even visiting the island).
And all that because I couldn't support a lineprinter (very
likely a real
LP11) on a VAXstation 4000 model 60. :-\ Hans
PS
ISTR a serial parallel interface but that might have
connected a serial printer to a parallel port, hmmm....

If they have unibus peripherals you might need a qbus vax with a
bridge to unibus.

Hmm I wonder if such a thing exists. Unibus-to-qbus
exists at least.

Yeah, right but then again what unibus unique peripherals would a payroll program need other than disks and tape drives :-/

For a second there I thought when you said "caught up" equaled "hobbyist."
I have never been so disappointed! ;) ;)
