A simple question, if you know the answer: What is the printer interface like on an Apple III (not II)? Something nice like RS232 serial or Centronics parallel? Or awful like the Mac and K-mart class home computers? My wife's church had an Apple III donated, and they need a letter-quality printer. I don't need printer recommendations so much as just the lowdown on the interface. If it's something standard, then choice of printer is unlimited; otherwise, what does Apple charge to take one out of their museum? Please respond to ihnp4!ihexp!knudsen. Thanks, mike k

The Pkaso/U is a nice parallel interface printer card which works in the Apple III (or Apple II, II+, //e). - - - - - - - - - ..!ihnp4!pyuxv!craig (RB Craig @ Bell Communications Research)

Apple/// printer interfaces are generally pretty simple. There is a dealer program floating around called "Drivers Aid", which has most of the popular drivers for any peripheral on it, and it is menu driven. I use a NEC 7700Q spinwriter, I know people using virtually any name-brand printer. I've been hearing very favorable commentary on the Star Geminis, Qumes, Epsons, Necs, Brothers, etc. Contact Apple Three Users of Northern Calif. 220 Redwood Highway, Box 184, Mill Valley, CA 94941 $20/yr covers monthly newsletter, maintains BBSs.
