- One of the neat things about HP DeskJet 500 series is that they come
- withboth serial & parallel ports, both active. You can hook both
- PCs & MACs (MACs need apprpriate drivers) to them. I *know* you can
- hook one of each (PC & MAC) to a DJ500; not sure how you'd network
- a bunch of 'em in. Maybe a Buffalo system?
