I am halfway thru creating a PPDS "emulator" (that will convert PPDS
data streams to a .PNG, PostScript, a PDF, etc., or send it to another
printing system like CUPS). A major missing piece is that I don't have
the Courier or Boldface PS built in fonts.

Having multiple versions of the ROMs would be very interesting... might
lead to being able to do a full emulation of it.
