160.0. "Anything new on the LA75 ??" by CGOO01::S_SCHMIDT () Thu Nov 06 1986 18:54

    Does anyone have any new information on the use of the LA75 on
    the Amiga?  I am in the process of considering the Amiga (not an
    owner yet...) and the features vs. employee cost of the LA75
    look hard to beat.
    
    Will the LA75 be compatable with any existing printer drivers?
    Is it a major chore to write a new driver?  Is the LA75's parallel
    interface compatable with the Amiga?

    p.s.  I have read note 94...looking for anything to add to it.

    What is the employee price?
    
160.2Price (only in Canada you say)CGOO01::S_SCHMIDTFri Nov 07 1986 14:0016
    I'm from Canada, so the dollars will definately be different, but
    if the U.S. uses the same 60% discount arrangement, simply substitute
    the appropriate numbers:
    
    	Base Price	1013.00
    -	60% Discount of	 607.80
    	Subtotal	 405.20
    +	Fed. Tax	  87.00
    	Total		 492.20
    
    This is a VERY competitive price here in Canada, when you consider
    the abilities of the LA75, so I imagine that the U.S. price would
    work out to something appropriately lower...?

160.3$314.50AUTHOR::MACDONALDCUP/MLFri Nov 07 1986 17:052
    $314.50 is the Employee Purchase price. They will be available in
    early December. Okay, who wants to write a driver for it?
