Ken,

We had a great resource for getting them repaired so I had a spare sitting
around but wish I'd known the drives could be replaced that easy.

We have less and less terminals but we, as noted, and as you note, will be
using these printers for a while :-)

If you folks are too - you might want to look at the BOS; they come in a
various models.

Chuck

We replaced our aging Perle 494e control units with the BOS IP units a
couple of years ago and I was SO glad. Got so tired of messing with the
(dirty) diskette drives in those things, the abysmal configuration, etc.

We've had problems with the diskette drives on Perle controllers as
well, but found that they are just standard PC diskette drives that we
can replace ourselves.

As for the configuration program ... <GAG>

But our long range plan is to get totally off twinax. We no longer
have any twinax displays, just printers.
