I would like to hook up my old Commdore MPS-802 near letter quality dot matrix printer to my new PC clone. Commodore printers, unfortunatly, do not use the standard IBM serial or parallel ports. They use a modified (serialized) version of the IEEE-488 buss. I would imagine that SOMEWHERE there has to be a company that makes a board for the PC that will allow one to use a C= printer on a PC. (Ideally it should convert PC-ASCII character codes into PET-ASCII codes.) Printing graphics is not necessary, but if it did allow this, it would be used and appreciated! *PLEASE* if you have any leads, E-mail them to me. If there is enough of a response, I will post a follow-up to this group. Thanks, ed@iitmax.iit.edu or/and SYSED@IITVAX.BITNET (Ed Federmeyer)
