Allison's right, an M8027, LPV11 (Q-bus version of the LP11). I'm not
interested in driving a printer with it, I want to talk to a Zip Drive. As
long as I can create a "Centronics" compatible interface (even with all 8
data bits being output only) I have a chance of getting it to talk to the
zip drive. That would give me 100 MB of removable storage, on a PDP-11 that
would be like heaven.
