[net.micro.atari] 850 wanted

lazear@WINKIN (Walt Lazear) (01/21/86)

A friend has decided to add a printer to his 800 (not XL).
Except for some old hacks at using the joystick ports, I believe
the only way to hook a parallel printer is via an 850 interface.
He has an Okidata M93 microline printer on his IBM PC that he is
willing to hook to the 800, but wonders if it will merely be a
cabling issue once he has an 850?  Otherwise, what's an 80 column
dot matrix printer (under $200) that can be hooked to the 850?
Please reply directly to me:  Lazear@Mitre.ARPA

P.S. Anybody got an 850 they would part with?
