[net.micro.atari] other than 850 interfaces query

rung@ihuxw.UUCP (Pete Rung) (12/02/84)

For those of us who did not purchase a 850 interface,
and now desire to expand to a printer and a modem
with our 800, what choices are there?

I believe that you can print thru the joysticks with
certain interfaces, but I've not heard good things
about them.

Any information would be gratly appreciated

  My father-in-law has an 800 with the micro-bits printer interface using
  the joystick port.  I have a stock 800.  The Monkey Wrench utility cartridge
  for the right slot on the 800 will not respond to the scroll command, when
  used with his 800.  It works fine with mine.
