Digital BW, The Print

After months of working on this thing replacing heads and all, I am going to 
have to replace the mainboard on this 7000 to keep it alive. 

Just found out that Compas Micro and Epson will still do a board exchange for 
$150.00. I have a maintanace manual. Even if I sell this machine I should still 
do this.

Can anyone tell me how difficult this all is? Everything else on this printer has 
been restored. The guy at Compas told me I might need some "special 
software". I'm going to study the manual tonight, but is this doable without me 
spending even more money? I have to reinitialize everything and up date the 
firmware. Does anyone know what I need for this and how complex it is? I 
would like to use this machine for the new piezzotone inks that are about to 
be released. Even with replacing the head fuse and transistor this pump 
motor isn't working right now. 

Any sources for reading about all this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

J
