Hello all,
This is my first posting here so please be nice. I have two questions:
1) I keep hearing about this NET: device for the parallel port, I have NET: and
use it with DNet over the serial port. Where can I get the parallel version
and what mods must I make on a cable to make it work?
2) I just got a C.Itoh serial 8510 (it doesn't say Prowriter anywhere in the
docs), and I am using the 8510 driver posted to the comp.binaries. If I use
WordPerfect or am printing from a standard WB 1.3 everything works fine,
however if I print from a disk running ARP 1.3 and ASH (ver 1.0?) I get a
bunch of garbage. Any ideas what's going on here?

Any ideas what's going on here? Well, I'd like to know too, as I wrote the printer driver. I run Arp 1.3, but not ASH, so I'd suggest that you look there first. Maybe try it without ASH. I usually run the printer with the parallel port, but do have a serial port & could try it out. (Forgot about that one). I have an 8510A which is a 'ProWriter' & understand that there are 8510B's, but have never seen one and don't know if there are any differences. ==================================================================== Kent Polk - Southwest Research Institute - kent@swrinde.nde.swri.edu Motto : "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing" ====================================================================
