As far as setup, commands, etc. yes. The actual processing and driving of the LJ is all HW based. The controlled card came in three configurations (2MB, 4MB, 6MB) of memory but it was user expandable. The memory is all socketed so you just add DIPs and go. Mine came with 4MB.

Unfortunately no. The only way I can get the LM to work is with the driver disks.

I don't think the II and the III had HDD options. My LJ 5500 has a 40GB HDD with a real spinning HDD that I can FTP into. The fax cartridge is cool as well. As far as the upgrades go for my LJII it is maxed out on memory, I have the LAN interface but I am mainly using the parallel port...

Yep. I remember reading PC Mag in the local library and seeing the adds for the LaserMaster stuff. Of course they were way out of my budget.... $4K just for the card and you still needed to buy a LJ II! They went on well into the 90s and made newer cards for the 4 series that allowed for...

They aren't that rare.... Although prices have gone up ridiculously... I am still kicking myself for losing out on one in box sold with a 5170 in box for $1200... Of course that was 10 years ago and who would pay that kind of money... Heck a few months before then I bought a PGC card and the...

Hmm.. I wonder if that was different from the consumer products that I see advertisedon web searches. That one doesn't say much about drivers for other printers. Winworld has a copy of v 3.1. So I guess worst case scenario I can try them out and see if it has anything useful. I would however...

I am not familiar with the Superprint. Was that a third party driver package? Or was it a print cache? Edit: So found this bit of info: SuperPrint is a software application that generally allows fast, high- quality printing in the Windows 3.0 environment. It gives you scalable printer fonts...

Long shot but.... I have in my possession a LaserMaster LX-6 controller. The controller allows achieving much higher res from a HP LJII then one would normally be able to (600x300 DPI vs the standard 300x300 DPI). If you are really interested can read more about it here: PC Magazine 05-16-1989...

Any emulators for later SCSI revision's yet? e.g. Wide or UW SCSI?

So is this just the IDE card not the 4 in 1 that also has SB compatibility? Both are cool ideas but the issue for me is that installing this prevents uses of the expansion box. Now if someone could keep expansion function and add the other stuff it would be fantastic. Of course if wishes were...

Thanks. I have the MB around here somewhere. I will take a look at it and post what I find.

Can you expand on that? I did not find any obvious ground shorts but admittedly electronics is not my area of expertise. Is there be something specific I need to look for? Thank you.

I moved on. Got a replacement motherboard that was close followed by an actual retail version of the OEM board used by G2K.

I have tried both 9 chip and other types of memory with the same results:

Still looking to pay cold hard cash for the following (in no particular order): 1.IBM Industrial Series 7531 PC 2.IBM 5175 Monitor that is NIB, or Minty Clean in serial number matched box (yes a true unicorn) 3.NEC Multisync XL (JC 2001) 4.Areca Drive Probe Advanced Edition (with HW) 5.Working...
