SPAREprinter model QA-6, anyone know how to do a self
print test on this unit I can not find any buttons or anything;
It will not do much unless you have it connected to a SPARCstation
running NeWSprint. The SPARCstation also requires a special S-bus card to
interface to the printer.
In other words, you have either a worthless printer, or a good excuse to
go get yourself a SPARCstation.
Oh, come off it! Surely there must be some way of finding out the
protocol and building an interface and/or writing drivers for another
machine!
Which reminds me - I have a couple of Diablo 630 printers with ECS
daisywheels which have strange edge connectors on the back. I am told
this is a Qume Sprint 3 interface - has anyone got a technical spec.?
Philip.
