Re: Converting a 6408 Printer from Twinax to Ethernet

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rob (and Conrad).

Looking at the options for an outright replacement of the printer at the 
moment.  There is a new Power 720 on order so if they have to give up 
the last of the twinax devices (this 6408 and the console) so be it!
