I've been having problems trying to run my TI-820 serial
printer on my Amiga. At 300 baud everything is fine but at 1200
I eventually get a buffer overflow condition. I have tried a few
cable arrangements trying to get the TI to toggle CTS, etc but
to no effect. I also tried to have the TI send XON/XOFF but that
didn't work either. The TI does work at full speed on my old
CP/M system. Without knowledge of the serial driver, I'm stuck.
Anyone got some ideas? My dealer hasn't been any help after
two weeks.

I'll assume your printer handles traditional RS232 RTS/CTS flow control. Enable that on the Amiga side by typing: setserial 10 x84 ->should be fine. BTW, what's so wrong with 300 baud??? Ya gotta die sometime... :-( tomp.
