Hey Jim, could you ask Bubba if he could post his Cummins Diesel adaptation
on the list?  That would be an excellent alternative power source to the
standard paper transport drive motor of the 3000.  I am currently trying to
adapt the previously posted continuous feed method to a set of 10,000
gallon tanker trucks for large print jobs on the 3000 and a reliable diesel
paper transpot drive would really complete the reconfiguration!
