Cordata (Corona Data Systems) also made a laser printer controller that
they marketed with a CX engine laser printer (nothing special about the
printer). The printer controller's drivers would refuse to initialize on
286 or above computers. They had their own font format (supported by the
POEMS font editor, which would also convert HP soft fonts), and their own
formatting codes (used extensively in the XenoCopy-PC manuals), and they
had an HP emulation (which I never used). If anybody really wants them, I
have a few. I also have an Eiconscript board (with AT compatible drivers)
that emulates Postscript. ANd, I have a bunch of JLASER cards. All of
which I used to use with the Cordata (CanonCX) laser printer.
