Me either. AFIK only Rick Bensene and one other guy have one. AFIK
they're EXTREMELY rare.

I've never heard of a IPI-2 interface. Any idea what kind of machine
uses them? If you can't use it, I'll go ahead and post it on the CC list.
Maybe someone there can use it.
BTW I picked up a NeXT Color inkjet printer. Any interest?

Nothing interesting. I found a HP 9830 (HUGE calculator) with an
attached 9866 printer and some of the accessories. I couldn't get it out
of the pallet so I have to go back for it but I did pull out some of the
little stuff. I got a big book of programming forms for the 9830, a QRG and
three brand new HP covers for it. There's also three HP 7906 disk drives
on the pallet. I think HP made an interface for the 9830 that would let it
use the 7906s but I'm not sure. I'm hoping that they are for the 9830 and
that I can get them and any other goodies. Are you interested in them if I
can't get them? I don't know the specs but thye look like they might be
removeable 14" platter drives. I have to go get my catalogs and look them
up. I'll try to let you know what I find out. I'm hoping they'll have the
stuff unpacked Monday and that I can go back and get it then. I want to get
it before everything gets sold, smashed, trashed or scattered.
I'm going out tonight to help shoot a fire-works show for the Boggy Creek
Gang. That's a camp for terminally ill children that Paul Newman owns.
Sounds like it'll be a great show.
I've been working 12hr days

Still screwing around! :-)
