[net.micro.atari] Need help for Atari RS232 w/o 850

benw@pyuxn.UUCP (B Weber) (01/18/84)

Has anyone out there been able to use a TI 745 portable terminal
(or any RS232C serial printer) as a printer for an Atari 800 WITHOUT
the use of an 850 interface unit?  There was an article in a
Kilobaud/Microcomputing about using the joystick ports to drive a
printer, but that appears to be a parallel port, and I need a serial driver.
Seems like a waste to buy a printer when I have the terminal at home!
Any help would be appreciated.
