Thanks for this information. Unfortunately you are probably right in saying the QL software would not be written. Just out of interest, do you have any comments or advice about using printers with the Q60? It would add something to our discussion over printers.
Well I see it quite relaxed. As for connection, PAR will be accompanied by Ethernet, which is in most respects better than USB. As for drivers, the 68060 has no problem to execute Ghostscript.
What bothers me much more is the shortage of interesting QL applications to produce something I'd like to print.
All the best, Peter
