I don't know RS stuff all that well. I'm assuming yours is a parallel
printer.

Many radio Schlock printers will work with some PC's and not others. I get
the best luck with the newer motherboards (486/Pentium).

Weren't the COCO's serial? If the
DMP-100's parallel, she won't work.
btw, I do have several RS "edge card" parallel cables (a la Tandy 1000) if
anyone wants.
Given the recent prices mentioned for Lisas and Apples, maybe I should ask
$100 each for 'em!
