One other point not mentioned by the other two replies was the parallel port speed. I found the original Q 40 that we used to sell intolerably slow at printing. The first page would print OK but, if you went for multiple pages it began to get slower and slower.Hi all I would appreciate some help ( with out starting a QPC/Qxx discuss )Having sold my Q40 to help fund a Q60 I now have thoughts about QPC. I know the arguments for and against both and I have QPC2 v3 demo. The unknown ( to me ) factor is speed, sure the Q60/80 is advertised as 160 bogomips but I would be purchasing a Q60/60. So would some kind soul's furnish me with the following if possible 1. speed of Q60/60 in bogomips 2. speed of QPC2 v3 on a 1.8 gh celeron based PC in bogomips I'm quite aware that benchmarks are not the be all and end all, but they are a factor to consider along with others, I have spare cash at the moment to purchase a Q60 but it could be used on other projects, oooh decisions decisions.
I believe this was to do with way that the port was implemented. It may have been fixed or changed completely in the new ones - no one has ever mentioned it as far as I can remember.
