John, You are too late by about a week or two, we had a rental for about 6 months and just sent it back last week... Forgot which model exactly, but it was the 40 or 50 GHz model. Very spiffy.
I have a new Prologix controller on the way and I intend to check it on everything I can lay my hands on :-) The two older models I already have have been getting good use as a HP 8566B plotter emulator for one (at work), and a Tek 494P plotter emulator (at home) for the other.
