Speaking just for myself, and from the perspective of
wanting to get a runable-even-if-slow emulator initially
available ASAP, I would certainly not see the need for
DTC or non-networked printer support...  I can't see
needing to do either of those things in the future (we
have not been doing either for several years now on our
existing 959-400).
