Hi Bob,

Thanks. Indeed I had revision 1.4 in my PIL-Box, and I upgraded it with 2.1 purchased from J-F a while ago. Since I'm on the latest revision (in order to connect my HP-71B and use my Mac as the keyboard and display) I am assuming that any talker on the line would be able to send something to the printer, right?

You're right though. It never hurts to get confirmation from J-F when I'm about to spend money to try something new. 8-)
