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!

One of the problems with using a RS printer on a PC is that the RS units
all (most?) add a linefeed in the printer firmware. If you do not know
the escape sequence to disable it everything comes out doublespaced. And
not all of their escape sequences were the same.

Yeap, at least the first two CoCO model were serial only.
