Aucbvax.5635 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Sun Dec 27 20:34:13 1981 Ain't it the truth? : Versatec on VAX750 resolved >From decvax!ittvax!swatt@Berkeley Sun Dec 27 20:21:03 1981

I sent out some inquires recently about Versatec printers on VAX 750's, trying to find out why one of our sites couldn't get it working on their new UNIX system.

Well, I guess Versatecs do work on 750's, but here is yet another example of the "It's your hardware -- no, it's your software" runaround. =============================================================== >From qumeix!markc Wed Dec 23 18:01:35 1981 To: ittvax!swatt

Subject: Versatec Printer.

We now have our Versatec printer working. They managed to sell us a controller with TTL drivers to the printer and a printer with long line drivers and never the twain shall meet.

We finally persuaded Versatec that their hardware was at fault, after threatening to have them remove it from our premises. They kept blaming the software.

Thanks for your help.

Merry Christmas
