[comp.sys.ibm.pc] EPSON MX-80 graphics

schwalbe@encore.UUCP (09/21/87)

The other day at work I happened upon a used EPSON MX-80 printer which I
wanted to use to print out dot-addressable graphics for the XT in my
office.  The problem was that this printer was OLD, pre IBM-PC, and did
not have an IBM Graphics mode (obviously).  Don't newer MX-80s do IBM
dot-addressable graphics?  I was wondering if I could just copy the PROM
from a newer MX-80 (if I can find one) and use it on the old one.  Does
anyone have any experience with this printer and know if this would be
possible?

Thanks in advance.
