Are you using the PacData PS with 2.5 total mem in the IIP? Is this the minimum for the PS to work (or can 1.5 total in the IIP support the PS cartridge)? Will the PS Catrtridge support downloading fonts?

Wayne– You need an extra 2meg for a total of 2.5 in order to use the Pacific Data Postscript cartridge. You can have up to 4.5 total. While I haven't used any downloadable fonts, the manual talks about doing so. I suspect that you can't use true Adobe format fonts. All the manual talks about is Bitstream fonts in 2 formats. QEM format is recommended for best quality. The types and number you can download are: Bitstream Quality Enhanced Module (QEM) fonts: 2.5 meg holds an extra 4 outline fonts, 4.5 meg holds 8 fonts Bitstream basic PS fonts (Laserwriter Nt/NTX): 2.5 meg holds an extra 5 outline fonts, 4.5 holds 10 fonts The PS cartridge comes with the same fonts as the Gold Disk Compugraphics Fonts Package (35 fonts).
